In the same vein, the Group Coordinator, Pastor Festus Oloye said the recent efforts of the governor in industrialising the state and the visible evidences of the commencement is remarkable.

Pastor Oloye said the governor has proved that dedication and commitment to a conscious efforts on the part of those in the helm of administration can transform Ondo State and indeed Nigeria to an economic giant.

He said that the governor has shown a great commitment to achieving the five-point agenda of his administration which include jobs creation through agriculture, entrepreneurship and industrialisation.

According to him, the Ore Industrial Park alone which is situated on 1000 hectares of land, which is a global standard, will in a long way meet the increasing demand for cost competitive industrial zone in Nigeria

Pastor Oloye therefore called on the people of the state to rally round the governor in his bid to take the state to an economic eldorado.

Meanwhile, the group has put in place plans to commence a ‘house to house’ and ‘one on one’ campaign for the second term bid for the governor.

According to the chairman of a committee set up for this development, Michael Asubiojo, the governor as an indigene of Owo has done them proud and the only way to reciprocate this is by ensuring that the governor succeeds in his second term bid.

Asubuojo told The Hope that in the next few weeks, the plans and programmes for the campaign will be unfolded.
