Fidelis David in Akure

A former member of the House of Representatives, Mayowa Akinfolarin, yesterday, said he decided to join the governorship race in Ondo State because there had been a disconnect between the government and the people of the state since the beginning of the present political dispensation in the state.

Akinfolarin, who disclosed this while speaking with journalists in Akure, Ondo State, said if elected in the November 16 governorship election in the state, he would bring succour and relief to the people of the state.

He promised to put in place and implement practical governance to address the developmental challenges of the state, saying, “This informs my decision to vie for the governorship seat of the state in 2024.”

Akinfolarin, a two term National Assembly member, maintained that his experience, capacity, and knowledge were some of the factors that separated him from anyone desirous of becoming the governor in the state.

According to him, the focal areas of the projects he would give priority included agriculture, health, education, social investment and economic empowerment.
