By Ayodele Oni

The Governorship Candidate of People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) for November 16  election in Ondo State, Agboola Ajayi has revealed that an agency for the development of rural communities would be established under his watch as Governor.

Speaking at the Palace of Osemawe of Ondo, Oba Adesimbo Victor  Kiladejo during the campaign tour of the PDP to Ondo West local government, Ajayi said an agency called Forest Community Development Agency (FCDA) would be put in place for the main purpose of developing the rural communities in Ondo State.

He explained that the rural communities in Ondo State must be developed to make it more attractive and competitive with the urban areas, so that they can also enjoy what is obtained in most towns in Ondo State.

“We must develop our rural communities so that the rural to urban drift could be curtailed for the agricultural and industrial growth of Ondo State, we must make them comfortable to contribute their quota to our programmes of development.”

He also used the opportunity to reel out his seven points agenda to the people, which include strengthening the security architecture  in the state  for the safety of the citizens, free education from Primary School to Secondary School among other good policies he has for the development of people .

Ajayi implored the paramount ruler to please appeal to all candidates and political parties to play the rule by the game and allow for a free and fair election, because it will not be a pleasant situation if one party intends to obviously introduce rigging and other illegal means into the election .

” Kabiyesi, we are all your sons, call us together and appeal to us to please play the game  by the rules, there should not be shifting of the goal post during the match.”

The PDP flagbearer, who said he sees his coming to Ondo town as homecoming because of his affiliation  to the kingdom, said he should be accepted by the Kabiyesi and others in the town as one of them .

While embarking on a campaign walk round the town and market, it was a spontaneous response from the people as they came out in large numbers to identify with the party and the candidate.
