Mr. Isaac Kekemeke, a frontline governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, on Wednesday, said the people of the state and party members believe he is a worthy replacement for Governor Rotimi Akeredolu ahead of the October 10 governorship election.
Addressing journalists in Lagos, Kekemeke, the pioneer state chairman of APC in Ondo state said his interaction with the people of the state reveals that they are fed up with Akeredolu’s leadership and they want a new leader to steer the affairs of the state in the next four years.
Explaining his interest in the race, he said has a vision to create a prosperous and peaceful state where the citizens would be productively engaged to enable them to live meaningful, comfortable and decent life. “What I know is that our interaction with the party membership and citizens in Ondo State shows that they will like to hire a new hand to captain the ship of the state. I keep saying that Governor Akeredolu has done his very best but the question is, is his best good enough in the eyes of majority of party members and in the eyes of the citizens?”
“There is still hunger, poverty, insecurity and he has not provided jobs. Why is it that five people are aspiring to be governor to replace him from his local government and another set of six people outside of his local government want his job in the same party”. “I think it is what lawyers call ‘res ipsa loquitur’ the thing speaks for itself. The important thing for me is to sell my programme to the people as solution to their present quagmire. The people of Ondo are unhappy and I have said I will offer a prosperous and peaceful existence”.
“The governor sell roads, I sell prosperity and peace. I sell compulsory education, primary and secondary, highly subsidized tertiary education, affordable and quality healthcare. Fortunately, in a democracy, the people are the best judge for every aspirant. I know enough, having been the first chairman of the party to know that the people will speak at the appropriate time”.
“I have experience and I boast that I am the most qualified for the job. I have been permanently resident in Ondo State for 30 years. I am the only one who has not gone to live elsewhere. I know the people and the people know me”.
