Ogun PDP Governorship Candidate, Buruji Promises Welfare Packages For Residents, Vows To Fix All Roads






 


The Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Senator (Prince) Kashamu Buruji has promised to provide good welfare packages and stomach infrastructure for the people of the state if elected in the forthcoming general elections.
He spoke on Tuesday when he visited Olota-in-Council, the Council of Baales and Chiefs, the League of Imams and Alfas, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN),  the Hausa Community, the Igbo Community, the traditionalists, artisans and market men and women in Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of the state.
The Olota of Ota, His Royal Majesty, Oba (Prof.) Adeyemi Abdulkabir Obalanlege (Ekun II) led other traditional rulers in Aworiland to receive the Governorship Candidate.
Speaking at the various fora, Kashamu said that the welfare of the people would be his priority, if elected.
"I commit to completing all the uncompleted and ongoing projects in Ogun West Senatorial District and other parts of the state.  Our government will be tax-friendly and encourage more businesses to thrive.
"I reckon that our people are in need of basic infrastructure, such as potable water, good and motorable roads in most parts of the state. All of these and many more will be done if you vote PDP on the 23rd of February and 9th of March, 2019," Kashamu said.
He highlighted some of his policies if elected as Governor, adding, "One, I commit to releasing all allocations due to local governments. I will not deduct from their allocations. This is to ensure grassroots development and allow the traditional institution to be involved in local government administration.
"Two, I also commit to remitting all statutory deductions from staff salaries to the relevant unions and authorities as and when due."
He promised that all the money deducted from civil servants for cooperatives that have not been paid would be paid. 
"We will meet with the leaders and do whatever they want. Their backlog of co-operative money for 106 months would be paid.
"We will establish micro finance and community banks to promote stomach infrastructure," he said. 
He stated that all these would be done with the recommendations of the community leaders to be headed by the traditional rulers, adding that his government would recognise all obas and community leaders. 
"The obas  would be involved in political appointment. I would not be PDP governor, I will be the governor of everybody. 
"Don't let us waste our votes. I need your support as the traditional ruler of the town. I pledge to fulfill my promise. I am a man of honour and justice and I will fulfil my promises once you elect me as Governor on March 9, 2019," he said.
The politician stressed that he was committed to remitting all statutory deductions from staff salaries to the relevant authorities as at when due.

To address the issue of poverty and stomach infrastructure, Kashamu said, "Substantial funds shall be set aside to assist the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Loans from the funds shall attract no interest.
"Our administration shall make the most of our closeness to Lagos to promote industrialization in the state.  Deliberate steps shall be taken to improve on the facilities in Ota and Agbara to make them more attractive to industries."
Kashamu urged the people to vote for all PDP candidates in the coming elections.
In his response, Oba Adeyemo Abdukabir Obalanlege said that the people of the area knew their identity, and that he could say categorically that they were the foremost Yoruba sons in this part of the world. 
"Aworis are the first Yorubas to step on this soil. We are not Egbas or Yewas. I can assure you of our support and we pray that whatever you have prayed for God will do for you. You will go in peace and God will be with you wherever you go," he said.
He and other traditional rulers prayed for Kashamu's success at the poll and wished him well in his pursuit.
The Onilogbo of Ilogbo, Ota, Oba (Dr.) Samuel Ojugbele, prayed for the governorship candidate and wished him well in his quest of succeeding the incumbent governor of the state.
