The governorship candidate of National Democratic Liberty Party, Mr Alegbeleye has appealed to Ekiti electorates to be upright and reject money bags politicians who can buy their conscience and later put them into another years of misrule. According to him, it is time for the people of Ekiti State to be liberated from the economy decimation.
Alegbeleye who is the Chairman of BOA Foundation in Ekiti State, is the governorship candidate of the NDLP for the July 14 overnorship election in Ekiti State.
During his interaction with journalists in Ado Ekiti, the state capital over the weekend, he stated that Ekiti State has been far behind in entrepreneurial development, and promised to industrialise the state, if elected, and noted that money has to serve and not to rule. “ I shall democratize access to money; propose tax incentives for qualified manufacturing companies to make our state attractive for businesses if elected by the people of the state,” he stated
He said Ekiti youths need to be included in governance through a sustainable empowerment programme starting from changing, “our education curriculum, to prepare our youths with skills for employment and to create entrepreneurial opportunities.” He also reaffirmed his earlier stand on his plan to invest in agriculture to address poverty; increase locally grown foods for the citizens at affordable prices; create related jobs in transportation; supplies; packaging and micro-finance, which will also increase outstanding public services that will improve and enhance a high quality life for all.
When asked why he wants to be governor of Ekiti State, the only homogenous state in the country, Mr. Alegbeleye said, he believes that Ekiti State Government needs a structural change to how it delivers the needed services to its citizens.
He promised that, if elected, the citizens can count on his honesty to provide full disclosure and ensure seamless access to all state services, will ensure transparency in all public spendings and be very vigorous in stemming wasteful expenditures. Alegbeleye described this period in Ekiti State as a challenging period, and asserted that the state deserves and requires someone who is committed and understands how an efficient government works.
