The All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate for the Ekiti state June 18 governorship election, Biodun Oyebanji has unveiled his six points agenda.

At an elaborate ceremony in Ado ekiti, Oyebanji said his manifesto is for a sustainable development of the State.

He described the manifesto as his strategic plan of action designed to focus on critical growth areas the state needs and to deliver the future that the people of the state want.

The six-point development agenda unveiled by Oyebanji include youth development and job creation, human capital development, agriculture and rural development, infrastructure and industrialization, arts, culture and tourism; and governance.

The APC flag bearer, who was joined by his wife, Dr. Olayemi Oyebanji and the deputy governorship candidate, Mrs. Monisade Afuye, also staged a massive roadshow and a long trek from the venue of the manifesto launch in Basiri to Ajilosun for the official inauguration of his campaign office amidst a throng of residents and party members.

Oyebanji, a former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), said he had a clear vision for a prosperous Ekiti. He called on the electorate in the State to retain APC in power with their votes in order to make the dream of sustaining the state’s development beyond 2022 a reality.

According to him, the ideas espoused in the manifesto resulted from his interactions with various segments of Ekiti citizens at home and abroad, adding that they were carefully designed to keep the state working.

He said: “This is not a politician’s usual promise to a voting public but a pledge from an Ekiti man to his people. This is a promise from me to you that we will build on our achievements as a State and strive for more. Our proposed strategic pillars of action are all interlinked.

“We are ensuring that there is sufficient investment, and attention given to the specific areas we believe have the potential to create opportunities, improve well-being and deliver sustainable growth for everyone; from our elderly; to our youth; our women; our workers at State and local government levels; our small and micro business owners; our investors; our teachers and our lecturers; and of course, our children.

“We have been on a long journey to reclaim our land and restore our values, it is now time to hunker down and sustain all our gains. That is why it is important that we encourage policies that keep the State working in partnership with our people. You will agree, many of our plans require partnerships, funding, community input and all hands on deck, working together for our common goal; of a progressive and productive Ekiti State.

“This roadmap focuses on critical growth areas we need to develop, to ensure we deliver the future we want for Ekiti.”
