 The newly sworn-in governor of Akiti State, Mr Biadu Oyebanji, has rolled out a six-point agenda to further bring economic prosperity and governance to the people of the state. Oyebanji, shortly after he was sworn-in by the Chief Judge of Akiti Justice John Adeye, said that his six-points developmental agenda would focus on youth development and job creation. Others are human capital development, agriculture, and rural development, even infrastructure industrialization, arts, culture, and tourism, as well as good governance. The governor said that his vision for the state was for it to be a land of prosperity, opportunity, peace, progress, and a land which transformed people and for communities to reap the fruits of the labour in dignity, good health, and safety. Oyebanji said the six-point agenda was carefully selected based on his experience. In the public and private sectors coupled with the yearnings of the masses to improve the status of the state. He said the vision to be actualized there was no, was a need to focus on a roadmap to get there, urging the people to be partners in progress. Well, joining us to discuss this is Ife Dayo Iyanawura. He's the former Governorship Candidate, National Rescue Movement, and he is, of course, the IPAC Chairman in Akiti State. And we're also being joined by Ulufemi Losan. He's a pro-democracy activist. Thank you so much, gentlemen, for joining us. Good evening. Yeah, good evening. Nice to be with you all here. Great. I'm going to start with Ife Dayo Iyanawura. This is, of course, 24 hours of the governor in office, of course, after him being sworn in. Let's talk about the person of Mr Oyebanji and the task that is ahead of him in Akiti State. Well, as regards the security of the Oyebanji, let me say especially that it is to have him newly in a greater government state. And I must say that he is one of all at home. He's one of those who believe so much that have grown up in the state. To the best of our knowledge, we are aware that he has found the capacity of assisting the governor, to give himself to the governor, to assist the governor, and also a commissioner at his time in Akiti State. So he believes that he knows the terrain of the state and is also a well-known person. So regarding his agenda, as we roll out for all, as we got his plan to move the state forward, we believe someone that is achievable because it is achievable, but that he knows the terrain of the state. And if you have to look into the agenda that we roll out as part of it, to enlist that new development and job creation is due. Creating a climate and income generation opportunities for the people of it to be would be a critical component of his administration, which is applauded. Then, on our record, it is said as the second lowest level out of schoolchildren in the country. The only advice is to look excellently. So, therefore, I introduce to my capital development as part of his sixth point agenda, as to view all the programs made by the people's administration by bringing that number as close to zero as possible, making sure that our children are not lost in school or their household names. This also is not seen other than seen as a rampage in around school. Then, he goes on to introduce a cultural and rural development as part of the agenda. As part of his sixth point agenda, according to Mr. Governor, another is one of the main contributors to the economy. He vowed to develop the system for that but attracting more investment in our great business to fit in our processing apparatus of both table and card stocks, which will also only provide the people of the state with authority while we have the general good, it's not all exported. Then we'll talk about the past structure and industrialization. We shall call it to the heave. We are going to raise the development of political structure that is critical to our economy to the development, which will have its vast supply to the state programs. We talk about height and culture and tourism as a means of about to find our economy. Then Mr. Good Governor, as part of the agenda, which will be one of the ones that will bring the affirmation together and a pillar that ensures taking adequate care for our civil service to ensure that it resonates as safe and secure, operating with transparency and best practices, collaborating with the highest right actors to implement the state of an open plan. And also as the commander as the administrator would be, I can't say but the good people of the state. We are not doubting all this because we believe in all this array. It's for most, as part of us, a grown-up of the state. We have the mistake that we introduce a form-cruel democratic government which will of course be Yannipur, the void of Catholic applied. He has proved a point in this way after he has been elected as the governor of the United States before being inaugurated. Governor, you will be the first of the kind that will not leave the state after being elected to travel abroad. He was within the state. He believed that if you are a traveler of the state, it goes out for consultation to meet the people living outside the state, trying to bring them back home, rather than put their quotas in the middle of the week. We never had the time with the UK, the United States of America, whatever other countries they want to go and keep the rest. That is that we are secured economically, socially. We have confidence that his government will be the void of Catholic applied. Alright, let me bring Mr Larson into the conversation. Still talking about the task that is ahead of Governor Yibangi. One of the first things he did was to freeze the government's account. Now secondly, the issue of continuity, because you know government is supposed to be a continuum, but in Nigeria we see governors who come in and promise that they will continue from where their predecessors stopped, but half the time it's a struggle, because they also want to start their own projects and put a name on it. Do you see Yibangi following in the footsteps of Governor Fiamme? I think that we're losing your connection, unfortunately. I'm going to go back to Mr Yanwura until we're able to correct your audio. Mr Yanwura, same question to you. Do you see him continuing in the footsteps of Kairi Fiamme and of course the issue of the frozen account? Well, as you got newly recruited Governor, the Governor, Abiodra Biomyu Yibangi, his leadership with the former Governor, Dr Kairi Fiamme, you cannot rule out the fact that Governor Yibangi is one of the first persons of the former Governor. And remember I said he was ruled a commissioner in 1986, he was a commissioner under the first government of former Governor Kairi Fiamme, and he signed again as Secretary of the State Governor under the same government of Dr Kairi Fiamme. So the position of SLG in his state is no but serious within the state. After the Governor, the Deputy Governor, then we'll be talking about the Secretary of the State Governor. So many politicians will be in togetherness to decide on. So therefore, we are not expecting Yibangi to work outside Dr Kairi Fiamme's plan for it. Like what he said, let me quote him. He said, you wear his shoe, you wear his own shoe. But for the part of his predecessor. That tells us that he has his mind, but people live so much in the part of his predecessor, Mr. Kairi Fiamme. So we are not expecting him to do anything contrary to the plans of Governor Kairi Fiamme. But the only thing which we are trying to yank, is that we should try and study where Dr Kairi Fiamme scores less than 10% of scores. We should try and study where Dr Kairi Fiamme scores. And now trying to work on this with his own idea to have the scores and to have the pass cards. So you know what I'm saying? Governor Yibangi is an independent individual, independently minded individual. First of all because we have a confidence in him, that we know his, that we put his own score on, and making sure that whatever a person is, the back of his own government, if you have it at the back of his mind, that you will be there in his own needs. And what's the name of Dr Kairi Fiamme? I'm most interested in the aftermath of the elections. Now we know how seemingly divisive that election was. Will Governor Yibangi be a governor who would govern all and sundry? In other words, reach out even to the opposition and all those who he beat at the polls. This is going to be a very inclusive government, a government that will bring peace to the people of Ekiti, knowing what transpired before, during and after the elections. Again, the governor has also talked about areas that he intends to expand on infrastructure, agriculture, et cetera, et cetera. For you as an Ekiti person, what do you think Ekiti state needs the most right now? I've heard you talk about the 10% where Governor Fiamme scored low that he needs to try to do something to better that. But as we speak right now, what do you think Ekiti people need the most? And where should that be where Governor Yibangi should start his governance from? Yes. For us now, if the people need too much development, which of course is part of this dispute agenda. And we cannot without the fact that Ekiti people is very good at infrastructure and industrialization. It's not a part of the agenda of Mr. Governor. So all we need now is to support him in our prayers. We forgot to give him the wisdom to perform brilliantly in office. He has promised all youth development and job creation. He has promised all agricultural and rural development. He has promised all sumac capital development. He has also promised all infrastructure and industrialization. He also promised all out to the diversified economy. Too hard to control and solve it. You think you know about this? Look, it means all. I would believe that before you can come out and roll out this dispute agenda, it must have taken the out of time to study the challenges facing the city. Right now we have people with roads. And it has to catch on this agenda infrastructure and industrialization. You cannot have back on down without taking off roads. So in all of this agenda, we are aware that it must have studied this situation of Ekiti. Before coming out to provide solutions to it. So all we need now is just to see how to be praying for him. We are going to give him wisdom, knowledge and understanding to perform brilliantly and wonderfully in office and to make sure that everybody with his fractions that we are back there to come on his way to defeat it. And hopefully he can hear me better now. Mr. Lawson, can you hear me? Mr. Lawson, can you hear me? Well, unfortunately, I don't think Mr. Lawson can hear me. Finally, Mr. Yanuura, let's talk about youths and, of course, the capacity building for these young persons. Every single state in this federation has, of course, in large numbers, young people, most of them, out of work, out of school, very idle. Elections are around the corner. And you know what they say about idle minds or idle hands becoming the devil's workshop. What should Governor Oyebanji be doing in the area of youths, empowerment and, of course, making sure that the teaming youth population is engaged? Well, like I said, if you have listened to me as you got this plan for all these days, if I get that captured youth development and job creation, Oyebanji that we know is the lover of youths. Oyebanji that we know. We also know that, hold on, Mr. Yanuura, hold on, hold on, just let me get to a point. Government cannot necessarily give employment to all of the young people in this state. But what policies can be put in place from your perspective to make an enabling environment for these young people to thrive? I'm not asking government to give all the young people jobs because I don't think that that's possible. I'm trying to say that as much as the governor has said that he would engage a couple of young people with his job creation agenda, he cannot, obviously, employ all the young people. So what other policies can he put in place to create an enabling environment for these young people to thrive? Well, Oyebanji, here you play me. You want to know about this plan for the young people in this state on the issue of women capital development? Well, if I must say the Oyebanji that we have as a governor now, he knows where the true pinches, particularly the young ones, are making. And he knows that the problem is facing his lack of industry, which, of course, his agenda has captured already in the area of social and industrialization. And again, Oyebanji, we know, he may feature because he was one of the lecturers here in the state, one of the state universities. So that tells that he knows what it takes to be a mentor to the mentees. Well, he's somebody who's so passionate about the growth of the youth. With the little we know about him, he's somebody who believes so much in capital development. So we can only engage his government with prayer or his good rich, good plans to come to pass without any distraction. So I've got any policy so far. He believes that he has his plan already. He also wants to work out and see how he will roll it out. Hopefully we'll be back in the studio to talk about his 100 days in office and examine all the things that he's been able to do. Ms Yanimura, I want to say thank you for being part of the conversation. Mr Lawson, thank you. Unfortunately, the connection has not been very friendly to Femi Lawson, but Freddie Yanimura is a former governorship candidate with the National Rescue Movement and is also the IPAC chairman for Akiti State. And Lufemi Lawson is a pro-democracy activist. Thank you so much, gentlemen, for being part of the conversation. Let me quickly correct the notion, please. Yes. You are the former IPAC chairman. Okay, you are the former IPAC chairman. All right, thank you so much for joining us. All right. Thank you very much. Great. Well, thank you all for being part of the conversation. That was Politics Tonight. I'm Mary Anna Kohn. Have a good evening.
