Ogun PDP candidate Kashamu to fix Ota roads, others

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Senator Buruji Kashamu, has promised to fix the roads and other infrastructure in Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area and its environs.

Kashamu made the promise yesterday when he visited the Olota-in-Council, the Council of Baales and Chiefs, the League of Imams and Alfas, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the Hausa community, the Igbo community, the traditionalists, artisans and market men and women in Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area.

The Olota of Ota, His Royal Majesty, Oba (Prof.) Adeyemi Abdulkabir Obalanlege (Ekun II), led other traditional rulers in Awori land to receive the governorship candidate.

At the various fora, Kashamu said the welfare of the people would be his priority, if elected.

“I am committed to completing all the uncompleted and ongoing projects in Ogun West Senatorial District and other parts of the state. Our government will be tax-friendly and encourage more businesses to thrive.

“I reckon that our people are in need of basic infrastructure, such as potable water, good and motorable roads in most parts of the state. All of these and many more will be done, if you vote the PDP on February 23 and March 9,” Kashamu said.

The senator highlighted some of his policies, if elected, saying: “One, I commit to releasing all allocations due to local governments; I will not deduct from their allocations. This is to ensure grassroots development and allow the traditional institution to be involved in local government administration.

“Two, I also commit to remitting all statutory deductions from workers’ salaries to the relevant unions and authorities as and when due.”

To address poverty and stomach infrastructure, Kashamu said: “Substantial funds shall be set aside to assist the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Loans from the funds shall attract no interest.”
