Osun: PDP Governorship Aspirant Scores APC Low , Says Current Govt Has Failed Teeming Unemployed Youths

A Governorship hopeful on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Omooba Dotun Babayemi has scored the Ruling All Progressives Congress led administration in Osun state as appallingly low on performance and capacity to deliver democracy dividends to the people.

Omooba Babayemi stated this when he was hosted on a current affairs personality radio interview programme in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.

The politician bemoaned the current state of the Nigerian economy which has led to skyrocketing prices of essential goods and services which has further pushed the ordinary Nigerians more into poverty.

Omooba Dotun Babayemi described the current government in Osun state as having failed to build on legacy of good governance which the PDP administration of Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola worked so hard to establish.

Citing abandoned projects, unemployment,failure to pay outstanding arrears of half salaries and pensions by the APC administration, the Governorship aspirant particularly chided the government for what he called, untransparent teachers recruitment in which thousands of job seeking applicants were swindled of their money at the end of an almost three year waiting.

He described as frustrating,the piece meal recruitment of few selected applicants from a large number of those who paid for recruitment forms.

Responding to fears of divisions within the PDP in Osun as a result of the declaration of many candidates for the Governorship seat, Omooba Dotun Babayemi said the PDP as a party built on democratic principles, will present a candidate who will not only be acceptable to members of the party but will win the forthcoming Governorship polls in 2022.

He disclosed that his decision to throw his hat in the ring was based on extensive consultations and endorsement of all stakeholders in the party.

He pledged to bring a socio- economic re- engineering governance process that will focus on developing the agricultural and mineral resources of the state if elected into office.
