Speaking at the state party secretariat, Alagbaka, Akure, at his official declaration and presentation of his intent form to leaders of the party, Akingboye said he is not just seeking political power for the sake of power, but as a servant leader committed to the upliftment and empowerment of every citizen of Ondo State.
“I do not seek political power for the lure of the office, self-aggrandisement or pecuniary gains of myself or family members but to create a new vista, broaden the state’s economic base, cut the cost of governance, prioritise the welfare of the people, target rampant poverty and make the state safe, sane and secure for all its law-abiding residents and guests,” Akingboye in his speech at the party secretariat said.
Speaking at the event, the Acting Chairman of the party, Mr Tola Alabere welcomed him and all those who came to grace the event wish him well ahead of Primaries and general elections.
In his words: “It is my pleasure to be here today to present Otunba Bamidele Akingboye to you as the second person to come here to obtain a form of expression of interest to contest, this shows he is a man of courage with all that is happening in the country today.
“We can assure you all of level plain ground; for all aspirants and we have set up a Committee in that respect and anyone that emerged will be supported by all and sundry and our party will come first at the general election by the grace of God.”
Also speaking, One of the Chieftains of PDP Jefson Abiodoye described Akingboye as the most consistent of all the aspirants who contributed his hard earned money to build the party consistently.
He described him as God sent to transform Ondo State, saying that people of the state have been begging him for many years before he finally bowed to the pressure to come out contest for the governorship seat.
