The Oyo State former commissioner for Health and governorship aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Dr. Azeez Adeduntan, on Tuesday, declared himself as most qualified candidate APC can field to wrestle power from incumbent state governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde.
The APC chieftain and medical pratitioner stated this at the world press conference and formal declaration of his intention to contest for the governorship of Oyo state, in Ibadan.
In his seven-point agenda unveiled which border on security, health, education, youth employment, infrastructure, social welfare and farming, Adeduntan promised to engender laudable development if voted for in the forthcoming election.
Expressing the essential features of his agenda succinctly, Adeduntan noted that security of life and property would be the top priorities of his government, lamenting that hoodlums are now on the prowl in the state.
He said, “I have decided, like the great American President John F. Kennedy, not to continue to wait for what my state can do for me, but to challenge myself on what I can do for my state. When I look back at my experience in the public sector, I realise that God has prepared me for this moment.
“I present myself as a capable, competent, and tested hand to make Oyo State greater. I am fully exposed locally and internationally- a Harvard university-trained board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, a general surgeon, a former professor of surgery at Morehouse school of medicine Atlanta, an entrepreneur, and a kind hearted philanthropist.
“Looking at other competitors, I am the best to wrestle power from Governor Makinde and give Oyo state back her pacesetter status. If elected, I shall immediately embark on the full restoration of the glory of Oyo state and make the people the pillar of our government.
“I promise the people of Oyo state to restore effective security of life and property, that is daily becoming a cause of serious concerns to residents of Oyo State”, Adeduntan reassured.
Adeduntan however, urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State to come out with their membership cards and slips to vote for him at the primaries billed for May.
