An Action Congress
of Nigeria (ACN) senatorial candidate, Olufemi Lanlehin, has assured on
the party’s intent to adhere strictly to the content of its manifesto
anywhere it is given the mandate to lead in the country.

Mr. Lanlehin, who
will be flying the flag of the party as a candidate for the Oyo South
senatorial constituency in the forthcoming elections, was on
familiarisation tour on some selected wards in Ido Local Government
area of the state, where he informed party members and residents that
the ACN has packaged in its manifesto, programmes that will better the
lot of all Nigerian citizens.

“What the people
should be enjoying in Nigeria is being destroyed by the impostors in
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). They are doing that because they
did not get yourvotes to get to power. “We in the ACN have put on paper
what we want to do when we get to power, we have deliberated on them
and we are assuring you that we will do them all,” he said.

Before formally
swinging into full political campaign across the country, the ACN had
launched its manifesto at Abuja where it detailed its plans for the
Nigerian polity.

Mr. Lanlehin also
echoed the views of many Nigerians that votes will count in the next
elections, urging his audience to ensure that they come out and cast
their votes, as well as stay till the votes are counted and results
announced at the booths before leaving.

Meanwhile, the Oyo
South senatorial district wing of the ACN, at the weekend, has
described the recent open debate for governorship candidates in the
state, as a way of helping the state’s electorate in making the right
choice in the next election.

Debate of candidates

The party, in a
release signed by the spokesperson, Wasiu Olatunbosun, noted that
debate brought out the best of all the four candidates who attended.

The debate,
organized by a local radio station, Splash FM, was aired live, but only
four of the contestants, Abiola Ajimobi of the ACN, Adebayo Shittu of
the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Taiwo Otegbeye of Action
Alliance (AA) and Azeez Popoola Adeduntan of Labour Party (LP), were in
attendance.

Mr Olatunbosun, in
his release, remarked that the participants ‘clearly demonstrated
competence, maturity and wherewithal required to liberate Oyo State
from its current socio-economic and political quagmire.’ “The public
debate afforded voters the opportunity to access each candidate who had
an ample chance to sell their programmes to the world. The event turned
out a huge success as it was adjudged unprecedented by Nigerians who
wondered why state governor Adebayo Alao-Akala of the PDP and Rashidi
Ladoja of the Accord party stayed away without genui e reasons other
than display of arrogance and debate fever,” he stated further.
