No candidate can match APC governorship candidate’s credentials in Plateau – Spokesperson
The Spokesperson of ‘Generation Next Campaign Council’, Mr Shittu Bamayi has that the no governorship candidate in Plateau can match the credentials of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Nentawe Yilwatda.
Bamayi in statement on Monday in Jos, said that Yilwatda’s pedigree, intellect, exposure and foresight for a better Plateau stands him out.
The spokesman stated that it was an open fact that Yilwatda was adjudged about forty years ago as the second best ICT engineer in the country and has maintained the high standard.
He added the APC governorship candidate meritoriously became a consultant with the United Nations, UNICEF and the African Union in software application.
“Yilwatda made an indelible mark in INEC as a result of his unequalled expertise in drawing and managing the ICT system in the organisation.
“It is therefore not surprising that private organizations and some state governments across the country have consulted him for expert advice on ICT,” he said.
”It is wicked, laughable and rather unfortunate and myopic that the opposition parties can condescend so low in making toxic allegations just to poison the minds of the unsuspecting electorate,” he said.
”Rather than being adversarial, the APC campaign council considers the party’s governorship primary as a non issue and will therefore not be distracted, more so when it is coming from the opposition,” he said.
Wale Akinterinwa, a governorship hopeful on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), says he will turn Ondo into another Lagos, the country’s commercial capital, if elected governor.
The Ondo APC governorship primary election is scheduled for April 20 while the state-wide election will be held on November 16.
Speaking during his official declaration at the ruling party’s secretariat in Akure, the state capital, on Tuesday, Akinterinwa said he will make Ondo an industrialised state.
The governorship hopeful who had worked in Lagos civil service, said he would utilise the natural resources in the state to attract investments.
“We will turn Ondo into another Lagos state in terms of development because we have what it takes, in terms of coast. We must ensure that the port comes alive and that will be a game changer,” Akinterinwa said.
“But, beyond that, we also have the landmass and ought to be an agrarian state. So, we are going to take agriculture to the next level while we encourage and support the local farmers.
“We will also attract investors who will invest in agriculture so that we will be exporting finished products. We will not just be producing for the table but we will be producing for export.”
On security, Akinterinwa said his economic initiatives would get most youth employed and lead to reduction in the rate of insecurity in the state.
“For security, part of our challenges today is because today is because we have many unemployed youths. So, Amotekun founded by our late governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and other South West governors will be strengthened so that with appropriate security in place, we can have development,” he said.
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party for 2023 elections has declared his stance on the recent national convention of the party that saw Barr Julius Abure emerge as Julius Abure emerge as national chairman.
Addressing Nigerians on X Space hosted by Parallel Facts on Friday, Peter Obi said he ignored the convention because the party leadership under Abure failed to do wide consultation with key stakeholders of the party before embarking on the said convention.
The former Anambra Governor emphasised the need for the right thing to be done to salvage the party, adding that he is more passionate about building a new Nigeria than building a new Labour Party.
