An All Progressives Congress governorship aspirant in Ondo State, Chief Olayide Owolabi Adelami, said on Wednesday that he was on a rescue mission to salvage the state.Adelami spoke at the national secretariat of the party after some concerned Ondo State indigenes, under the aegis of Ondo Rescue Group, picked the expression of interest and nomination forms on his behalf from the APC National Organising Secretary, Mr. Emma Ibediro.
Addressing reporters after receiving the forms, Adelami said: “I am coming up for a rescue mission. Ondo State is endowed with a lot of resources. It is second to Lagos. I cannot think of any other state with resources like Ondo, besides Lagos. But what has happened over the years? These resources have been under tapped.”
According to the former deputy clerk of the National Assembly, “other leaders that have come on board at one time or the other have tried their best, including Governor Akeredolu. He has tried his best, but what I’m saying is that his best is not enough. I want to improve on that best. I want to take Ondo State to a higher level.
“For instance, local government autonomy is a burning issue in all states and it is the first item in my manifesto. I will grant financial autonomy to local government because I believe that the third tier of the government is the government of the grassroots.”
