BY Dayo Johnson Akure – THE former national legal adviser of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP who defected to the All Progressive Congress APC in Ondo state recently, Chief Olusola Oke ‎yesterday promised to create 3000 jobs within six months if elected as govern of the state. Oke who was at the ‎party secretariat to declare his interest in the November governorship election said he joined the race because of the assurance that internal democracy would be allowed to prevail. He was the PDP governorship candidate during the 2012 election in the state. Oke boasted that he remains the best man for the job in the state, with a pledge to reposition the state within his first six months in office. ” I need no introduction in Ondo politics and if I eventually win the APC ticket, I am very sure Mimiko will vote me and I promise to resuscitate all the moribund industries in the state to create 3,000 employment within my first six months. ” No new industry, unemployment everywhere, all projects initiated by previous administration have been abandoned but the only thing we see around is cosmetic projects” ” Nothing has been added to the state in the last seven years, but what I see everywhere is poverty, penury, hunger and anger written on the faces of the people but this is the time to decide and bite for APC in the state. He stated that the present administration in the state has failed to fulfill its electoral promises, saying there was no meaningful projects put in place by governor Olusegun Mimiko led administration. Oke said he was encouraged to contest on the platform of APC because of the assurance from the leadership of the party that there would be no imposition, no zoning arrangement and the decision of the party to contest free and fair primary election. He said the change phenomenon that started at the center and other south west states will soon berth in the state saying ” the battle is not won until PDP is chased out of government in the state” End
