APC candidate unveils \u2018Oyo AHEAD\u2019 development blueprint<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Adeola Badru<\/p>\n

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli, has pledged to surpass the achievements of Governor Seyi Makinde\u2019s eight-year administration within four years if elected in 2027.<\/p>\n

Alli made the promise on Tuesday during the unveiling of his manifesto, tagged \u2018Oyo AHEAD\u2019 (Itayo Oyo), at Theophilus Ogunlesi Hall, opposite the University College Hospital, Ibadan.<\/p>\n

He said the blueprint was designed to reposition the state through purposeful leadership, strategic planning, stronger institutions and people-oriented governance.<\/p>\n

The APC candidate said Oyo State had enormous economic and developmental potential that could be harnessed through deliberate policies and innovative approaches to improve the lives of residents.<\/p>\n

He said his ambition was to build a state where opportunities would be accessible to all, public institutions strengthened and the impact of government policies felt across communities, irrespective of their location or socio-economic circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cOyo State has enormous potential, but we must be deliberate, innovative and committed to translating that potential into tangible improvements in the lives of our people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Alli described Oyo AHEAD as more than a campaign slogan, saying it represented a comprehensive development agenda based on the expectations of residents and the need to accelerate the state\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

\u201cOyo AHEAD is not just a campaign slogan; it represents a development agenda anchored on the people\u2019s expectations and the urgent need to move our state forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want an Oyo State that works for everyone, regardless of location, background or economic status,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said sustainable development required a coordinated strategy to strengthen institutions, stimulate productive sectors, expand economic opportunities and ensure inclusive participation in governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cSustainable development cannot be achieved through isolated interventions. We must strengthen our institutions, support productive sectors, create opportunities for our young people and ensure that every segment of society has a stake in the development process,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The APC candidate said restoring Oyo State\u2019s position among Nigeria\u2019s leading states would require purposeful leadership, responsible governance and a development approach that placed residents\u2019 welfare at the centre of government decisions.<\/p>\n

He said the manifesto contained policies, programmes and strategies to address the state\u2019s development challenges across various sectors.<\/p>\n

Alli expressed confidence that his proposed four-year administration would deliver measurable results and surpass the achievements of the incumbent government over its eight-year tenure.<\/p>\n

He also stressed the importance of involving stakeholders in policy formulation and implementation, saying the development of the state should be a collective responsibility.<\/p>\n

During the presentation, he outlined his proposed policies and strategies for tackling challenges and improving performance across key sectors of the economy and social development.<\/p>\n

He said the blueprint was designed to promote inclusive growth, restore the state\u2019s pace-setting reputation and ensure that development reached all communities rather than being concentrated in a few locations.<\/p>\n

Alli described the 2027 governorship election as an opportunity for residents to choose a new development direction, pledging that accountability and public welfare would guide his administration if elected.<\/p>\n

Stakeholders at the event included representatives of the organised private sector, community development associations, farmers, students, artisans, traders, women\u2019s groups and non-indigenes.<\/p>\n

APC candidates contesting the 2027 elections, party leaders and other prominent stakeholders also attended the unveiling.<\/p>\n
