GNI PROMISES TO COMPLETE ALL ABANDONED PROJECTS IN OGUN STATE The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka (GNI) has assured all the residents of the state that all projects being executed by the outgoing government will be completed if elected into office. He, however, disclosed that local contents of the projects will be increased as his government will engage many local contractors to reduce capital flight from the state. The Investment Banker turned politician also promised that the dream of the state to have a cargo airport will be achieved as he is already working with the Federal Government to ensure that one out of seven proposed cargo airport is sited in the State. Isiaka, made the pledge on Saturday at the Ake palace before the council of Obas in Egbaland where he received their royal blessing on his ambition to govern the state. Accompanied by the state party Chairman, Engr. Bayo Dayo, former Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Salmot Badru and the Ogun Central senatorial candidate, Mrs Bisola Sodipo - Clark, Isiaka eulogised the role played by the Egbas in the political evolution of Nigeria while appreciating the robust relationship between Egba and Yewa. Isiaka, who also promised to develop the rural areas said towns and villages outside major cities have been neglected by the outgoing government, noting that economic and commercial activities in these rural communities have been crippled. He said, the current government has abandoned the rural communities and border towns causing huge under-development of the areas. The PDP administration under my watch will set up a Border Towns Development Authority to fastrack the development of these areas that have been criminally neglected by the Amosun regime. I am also committed to bringing to reality the Abeokuta City Centre and Central Business District project embarked upon by the immediate past government but which has been neglected by Amosun because they do not understand how the idea will be implemented. Responding, the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Aremu Gbadebo thanked Isiaka for his laudable vision and plans for Ogun state. He said, I thank you for your wisdom and good intentions. We have watched you for the past few years and observed how consistent you are and by the special grace of God, you shall get there. Anyone that stands as obstacle to your ambition will become a victim Thereafter the Alake in concert with other Obas made traditional prayers for the success of Isiaka. In the same vein, the Akarigbo of Remoland, Oba Michael Sonariwo advised Isiaka to remain focused and let people be at the centre of his policies if elected as governor of the State. The monarch spoke while Isiaka and some PDP leaders visited members of Remo Traditional council in Sagamu on Friday. Oba Sonarinwo said he had no doubt that Isiaka got all attributes that will make him excel as the governor of the state said he was happy that many prominent Ogun indigines support his ambition and advised him not to let them down. BELIEVE IN GNI and Vote Him in for a brigter OGUN state future...
