He posited," Most of you might be aware that I have been a member of this party for so long. We worked behind the scene and later attack the issues of the campaign of February 2023 openly.

“I am pro-people; I believe in the people, and Labour Party stands for the ordinary people; the ordinary Nigerians, the commoners, the downtrodden of this country. 

"So, we must use the Labour Party platform to liberate the common man in the street. Labour government in Osadebey Avenue will liberate the common man in this state. We are here to work on the ordinary people, and we are going to do that through the local government councils."

Hon. Ogun stressed that under his leadership, the 18 local government councils in the state will be given autonomy, adding “whatever money due to the local government councils, they will get. Where the state government needs to collaborate with the local government councils, we will do that.

He stressed," When we have functioning local government councils in this state, life will become bearable in this state. Local government councils must be allowed to function because they are more closer to the people, and they know what the people in the rural areas are passing through.”


He also  promises quality standard health care for all when he becomes governor, Ogun said no government official under his watch will use public fund to travel to abroad for medical checkup.



He said: “We will not allow government officials to use public funds for medical trip abroad. Will make sure all our health facilities are put in good shape. 

"We will make sure we have good health care system. Our primary healthcare centres in rural areas will be fixed to make sure they function well. We will make sure they have basic equipment.

“We will make sure our schools are in good shape. We will, by the grace of God, remunerate our teachers well for a good service delivery.”

Commenting on food security, Ogun said: “We will make sure farmers go to their farms without fear so that they can bring farm produce to the urban areas. This will help to bring down the cost of living.


" I am aware that farmers are losing their produce due to bad roads and the cost of transportation. They spend so much to clear the farms, and they still spend a lot in transporting their produce. I will ensure access roads to farms in our state. I did it as a Lawmaker, so being an executive governor, it is more easier.”
