Ogun Agro Cargo Fits My Vision- Says Showunmi

 

A factional governorship candidate of the People's Democratic Party in Ogun state, Segun Showunmi has applauded the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, and the former governors for their contributions to developing the state.

Showunmi disclosed through a press release issued on Thursday in Abeokuta, the state capital, that he was delighted with the information reaching him on the Ogun Cargo Airport and the focused determination to bring it to life by Governor Abiodun.

He emphasized that the new Cargo airport fits into his vision if he emerged as the state governor in 2023.

He said “I must say that the more I look at our beloved Ogun, the more I appreciate the contributions of past and present leaders. Let me quickly add that I am pleased with the information reaching me on the Ogun Cargo Airport and the focused determination to bring it to life.

“It fits perfectly into my new deal and vision for our dear state. I have positively envied Akwa-Ibom and can now safely say we are on course!

"Once the campaign starts and the issue-based conversation commences, it would be clear the enviable height we hope to take the Gateway State.”

He, however, disclosed that as the campaign for the 2023 general elections kicks off officially later this month, he is more than prepared to bring a new deal of good governance for the people of the state.

He emphasized that the 2023 elections are such that is way too important to bring the country back on track, adding that the need for people to pay attention to the campaign messages and let this guide them when making choices during the election.

“It is not enough for candidates to sing and dance and cause surrogates to speak for them. No, this coming election is way too important for all that. What is at stake has profound consequences for us all.

“We must demand answers to the tough questions of nation-building; we must ask for implementable and practical solutions to security; for growth in the economy with emphasis on how the masses will not be left behind. A continuous mouthing of privatization has left me pondering on who will guarantee the well-being being of the poor majority.

“We must demand clear answers to the issues of national cohesion within a framework of our unusual federalism. We are in dire need of a sustainable vision that all of us can believe in and aspire to build. We must be hopeful of our place in this vision, as I have asked myself times without number: ‘Is our democracy working only for the rich and their mostly over-pampered children at the expense of the majority?

“Our people have expressed their wish for fresh air loudly and I have heard clearly. We are hopeful that the courts will perfect this in due course.

“My candidacy, like many, have said, gives all and sundry the hope that better is possible and that democracy is an idea that must, of necessity, give all that subscribe and participate in it a fair and equitable chance of achieving their legitimate dream." He added
