ONDO YOUTHS DRUM SUPPORT FOR SEGUN ABRAHAM...


Chief Segun Abraham




As youths from across the 18 local governments areas in  Ondo State under the auspices of Ondo State Progressive Youth Network (Agbajowo)  converged in Akure, the Ondo State capital, to endorse Chief Olusegun Abraham as the APC candidate for the October 10th, 2020 governorship election in Ondo State. 


The youths unanimously resolve to support Abraham was based on the fact that he is the best brand that Ondo State people can vouch for among those jostling for the position. 


The youths State Chairman of the group, Comrade Olaniyi Dowole Marthins who read the communiqué at the end of the meeting, said the interesting and striking thing about Chief Olusegun Abraham is his total commitment to the provision of multimillion naira scholarship to the less privileged. His yearly scholarship program has undoubtedly brought over 10,000 families out of poverty directly or indirectly as hundreds of of the beneficiaries of the scheme since it started 20 years ago are now captains of industry,  medical doctors, engineers, prominent lawyers, notable political leaders, etc. 


Dowole also reminded the good people of Ondo State the unprecedented sacrifice Chief Olusegun Abraham made for Ondo State when he left his multi billion naira business in Lagos abroad to serve as Chairman of Owena Motel for four years during late Chief Adebayo Adefarati led government between 1999-2003 without collecting salary or stipend. 


The secretary of the youth group, Comrade Akerele Olatunbosun also said that Chief Abraham is the most decent politician among contestants for now. " he was there in AD, in AC, in ACN and now APC, in all these years years of transition he never for one day left the progressive fold. A feat that is very rare to find among the Nigerian politicians today. Adding that he has visited all the 18 local governments in Ondo State in 2003 to campaign for the reelection of late Adebayo Adefarati and also donated several branded buses to support the defunct ACN governorship candidate, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, in 2012.


The Patron of the youths group, Chief Mrs Olufunmilayo Ogunleye said the meeting was convened to remind youths to rise up for the progress of Ondo State. She said that leaders are driven and inspired by what a community can become and to devote today to think about how to solve tomorrow's problems.  According to her " we lack visionary leader presently in Ondo State.


 It was disheartening to hear that a commercial bus caught fire in the front of the State Head Quarters of Ondo State Fire Service Brigade office at Alagbaka Akure last week and the bus was engulfed by the raging inferno for almost two hours. The fire brigade officers who were on duty couldn't do anything to extinguish the fire but instead ran away to avoid physical public condemnation or attack.


 They told the sympathizers who approached them for help during the inferno that it was 2017 the fire fighting trucks functioned last. They even confirmed it that they didn't have any functioning borehole to source water. I believe a visionary and responsible leader ought to prepare for harmattan fire disaster which usually occurs between November-January every year." 


In his goodwill message, Olaniyi Dowole Marthins promised that the entire members of Ondo State Progressive Youth Network will soon embark on house to house mobilization of APC members for the actualization of Dr Olusegun Abraham dream of goververning Ondo State . 


Urging the good people of Ondo State to join the group to implore Abraham to declare for 2020 governorship seat now. He said that the NWC of the party has officially announced that direct primary method has been adopted for the party primaries.
