The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial candidate for Oyo South, Chief Joseph Tegbe, has promised to exploit legislation to promote strong institutions in the country if elected.

This is just as Tegbe, who spoke in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, during a media parley held at his campaign office, frowned at the distribution of motorcycles as empowerment equipment, advocating investment in human capital development.

The Mogaji of Labo compound in Ibadan and a renowned financial expert said investment in vocations and small scale businesses would also go a long way in eradicating poverty from the society, promising to sponsor bills and motions which would  ensure long lasting solutions to the myriad of crisis bedevilling the country’s education as well as health sectors.

He insisted that his senatorial ambition is driven by vision, excellence and impact, noting that he has never relented from imparting on the people.

According to him, “I am driven by three things-my vision for a different environment, excellence, and impact. They are very important to me. At a stage in one’s life as a successful and fulfilled man, you should be able to impact your community. I pledge to dedicate the second half of my life to serve my community and humanity.

“If voted as a senator, my immediate focus areas will be to drive legislation and multilateral investments, both locally and foreign, to empower micro, small and medium scale enterprises.

 “I will promote synergy between agriculture, trade and industrial sectors as well as sustainable security architecture involving stare and community policing, as well as strengthen the relevance, quality and access to formal/vocational education, promote health insurance and improved welfare for healthcare personnel.”
