Engr Olaniyan an Ibadan based Business man is aspiring to represent Oyo Central Senatorial district in the Senate pointed out that it is not enough to pray for a better government either in the mosques or churches but to do what would make their prayers answerable by God adding “our salvation is in our hands.We should be the architect of our fortune”

The politician who was fielding questions from newsmen at Akinyele local government area of the state declared that information at his disposal hinted that many voters cards were awaiting collection from INEC from this month advising that those who registered last year should visit their registration centres to collect theirs.

He said”rumour is rife that some desperate politicians are planning to buy cards from their unsuspecting owners.Please resist the temptation of selling such as it is like selling ones birth right.Our cards are our power to reject those we want to flush out of power”

Engr. Olaniyan described as a comic drama,the last local government election in the state which was boycotted by the opposition pointing out that it was a face saving device by the ruling party which sidetracked the rule of law and handpicked its puppets to loot in the local governments and council areas.

On the purported achievements of this government,He rubbished the democracy speech of President Muhammadu Buhari during his last broadcast stressing “one of the saddest things was the blame game which he keeps on playing with his unceasing propaganda on his three years reign of tyranny where the masses have been turned to beggars”

“It is therefore disturbing and nauseating to see the President rabbling and drabbling on national television on his government’s achievements in three years but deliberately forgetting to make mention of rotteness pervading the nation like Fulani herdsmen killing innocent people on daily basis,Boko Haram killings regularly,incidents of armed robbery,kidnappings and what have you.What the ruling party did during its congresses was killing and maiming its members instead of addressing insecurity in the country,.What happened in Oyo and Rivers state including others,he alleged.

Engr Olaniyan admonished Nigerians to pray and vote
for God’s fearing leaders warning that it would be suicidal to mistakenly vote in the this type of government currently in power which has propaganda as its weapon to get the masses votes and , later subject them to hardship after getting into power as being currently experienced.

He commended the new leadership of PDP in the state for its maturity in repackaging the party and called on members and local leaders to put the general interest of the party above personal ambition in order to reclaim the state in 2019 adding “We are going to restore the pride of the Pacesetter state in all spheres of life”
