The senator representing Ondo-North senatorial district, Prof. Ajayi Boroffice, says the people of the state are suffering under the government of Governor Olusegun Mimiko.
Boroffice said this in a statement issued after touring the 18 local government areas of the state.
He said the Peoples Democratic Party-led government had done nothing worthy of note in the state.
He said, “From Owo to Okitipupa, Odigbo to Ose, Akoko land to Ondo kingdom, Irele to Idanre, Ifedore to Ilaje, Ese-Odo to Oke-Igbo, there exists a large number of low-spirited people who have lost confidence in the irresponsible way they are being governed by the PDP-led government in Ondo State.
“Promises have not been kept. Hopes have been dashed. Most of our people wore faces of agony. As such, it would be wrong to anticipate good governance from the sinking PDP.”
The lawmaker explained that the tour featured consultation with party stakeholders, enlightenment of party members and discussion on how to promote peace and unity within the All Progressives Congress in the state.
During the tour, Boroffice commended the people of Ondo State for voting President Muhammadu Buhari in the last general elections in spite of the money allegedly spent by the PDP government. He urged the electorate to exercise patience as the government implements its reforms and agenda of change.
The senator decried the state of the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission under the current administration.
He said it was unacceptable that the hitherto financially buoyant OSOPADEC could no longer fund developmental projects and was struggling to pay bursaries to indigent students.
Boroffice also assured the people of Ondo State of his readiness to deploy his experience and expertise to “free and salvage the state from the stranglehold of her exploiters by presenting himself for election in order to showcase selfless leadership and good governance.”
