By Oyewale Oyelola
Eyitayo Jegede SAN is a unique technocrat in politics. He understands governance, human relationship, power of networking, collaboration and team building which are key towards achieving good results as a Political leader in the highly competitive 21st century economy.
Jegede, the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Ondo 2020 governorship election is not contesting just to be governor, but in the race to deepen good governance, deliver dividends of democracy to the people and bring all-round development to the state. Hence, the legal luminary has designed workable and achievable blueprint towards advancement of Ondo state.
Jegede’s manifesto tagged ‘Our Offer’ clearly outlined his plans for the state and logically highlights how he will turn it to implementable programmes/policies as well as project expected impact on the state and the citizenry. The manifesto is not another document for political gimmick or bogus offers that might be difficult to implement. The blueprint is Jegede’s Social Contract with good people of Ondo state which will guide his government, when elected as governor.
Eyitayo Jegede in his blueprint promised to make the state one of the seven leading economy in Nigeria. ”I am on a mission to make Ondo State one of the seven biggest economies by sustaining economic transformation of all sectors”. He stated.
The Akure born Politician also pledged to crash school fees increased by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu administration, prioritize workers’ welfare and provide conducive environment for learning in tertiary institutions and other schools. The bold statement of Jegede has prompted Akeredolu to start jumping from pillar to post by announcing emergency tuition fee reduction.
While navigating streets in Akokoland last week to campaign, the former Attorney General of Ondo State and Commissioner for Justice explained how he will improve the health sector by providing affordable and quality services as well as reduce cost of access, noting revenue generation should not deny people qualitative healthcare.
The passionate who has promised to lead with human face said: ”Every government must set its priorities and for me,access to Qualitative and affordable education and free healthcare for our pregnant women and Children is on top of my list. We must preserve our future by saving our children and we must ensure that we can favorably compete within the global community by educating our people”.
His manifesto also provides insight on how he will reduce unemployment among the youths by harnessing opportunities in Agriculture and offering necessary support for private sectors to establish companies in the state.
Jegede would energize Small and Medium Scale enterprises (SMEs) and empower traders, market women/men to boost business activities in the state.
The PDP candidate has stated that all abandoned and ongoing projects will be complete in the interest of the state and citizenry, when elected as governor. His offer will bring sustaining peace and enhance security of the state. Recall that he assured people of Akoko to stamp out kidnapping and other crimes by collaborating with security agencies to establish more out post in every part of the state.
Furthermore, PDP Candidate for Ondo 2020 governorship election, Eyitayo Jegede hinted that the development of the southern senatorial district and her deposits is a matter of priority for him and not a theme to play politics with.
Jegede has good plans for the Sunshine State and the electorate should vote him massively on October 10 to get best offer that would be beneficial as well as rewarding for ALL.
