… Reveals How APC Tried To Frustrate His Guber Ambition With 21 Lawsuits

ABEOKUTA – The governorship candidate of African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Ogun State, Barr. Olubiyi Otegbeye has assured the people of Ogun State that he’s not oblivious of how bad things have become in the state, but his administration shall not start with excuses when they assumed office on May 29, 2023.

Otegbeye who stated this on Tuesday, January 24, 2023 while addressing journalists at the party secretariat, in Abeokuta, opined, “I am not oblivious of how bad things have become and we shall not start with excuses when we assume office on May 29, 2023, by the grace of God.

“Our agenda over the next four years is to fix Ogun State and repair the broken systems. It is clear that the current administration has not been honest and transparent in their dealing with the people.

“Furthermore, there is adherence to fiscal and budgetary discipline. We shall change this culture from day one.

“The inequalities in our system today are huge and have created enormous distortions in human capital development, infrastructural expansion and economic growth. I want to fix our dear State by creating opportunities for all classes of people and at all times.

“We want to restore the glory of the Gateway State, enhance the dignity of citizens and establish a culture of collective growth and shared prosperity.”

BOT as he’s fondly called also used the occasion to, reeled out his manifestos which include; Qualitative Education with emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), Universal Access to Qualitative Healthcare, Agricultural Revolution & Rural Development Modeling and Rapid Industrialization via Manufacturing Boosters.

Others are Infrastructure Development: Energy & Roads, Water & Sanitation, Social Welfare, Security Ecosystem Development,
Institutional Reforms and Capacity Building, Good Governance & Leadership and Values Promotion among others.

He accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of filing 21 lawsuits challenging his candidacy at the court.

According to Otegbeye, twenty-five lawsuits were filed against him from the ruling party, Labour Party, and All People’s Party (APP) apparently to exclude him from contesting the March 11, 2023 election.

He disclosed that the action of the petitioners was a clear indication that the ruling APC had run out of ideas; hence the desperate effort to take him out of the ballots.
