Ladoja joins Accord Party
A former governor
of Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja, on Tuesday, laid to rest speculation on
his desire to dump the People’s Democratic Party, as he formally
declared his membership in the Accord Party. He is to pick to the
party’s governorship nomination form on Thursday, which will enable him
contest in the 2011 general elections. Mr Ladoja, who made his
intention known before a gathering of his supporters from the 33 local
governments of the state at a meeting at Alli Oyedeji’s house in
Ibadan, said he is contesting to respond to calls by his supporters to
rescue the state from alleged maladministration, misrule and misplaced
priority of the present government.
If re-elected, he pledged to provide quality leadership and bring back government of the people which will ensure their welfare.
The former governor
assured the people that the Accord Party will not become a conduit
through which public purse will be drained like the party currently in
power in the state has been doing.
He also promised to
ensure that education, health, pensions, industries, housing and the
market places are given adequate attention, to create a conducive
atmosphere for meaningful growth.
