The African Action Congress (AAC) Governorship candidate in Ogun state, Hon. Adeyemi Harrison has promised to tackle insecurity if he wins the Governorship race in 2023.
The Governorship candidate pledged a complete security overhaul in the state if emerge in the 2023 elections.
Adeyemi revealed after winning the Governorship ticket in the party's primary election held at the Party Secretariat, Abiola way-Abeokuta, the state capital.
He clinched the ticket with 56 votes against his close female rival, Oluwakemi Shoye who polled 2 votes.
Speaking shortly after the free, fair and credible exercise, Adeyemi said his administration will prioritize security if he wins the 2023 governorship election.
He pledged to work with community leaders to tackle insecurity in the state.
His words "The question of insecurity in the state is in the hand of the people. My government will collaborate with the people of the state to tackle insecurity in this state.
" We are going to train community leaders on how to secure their environment and we will educate our people on security consciousness. We will let them know that the kind of people in a gathering and the faces will determine who's there to perpetrate evil.
The former APC member disclosed that he left the part because of the current administration negligence towards the people.
"I have a reason for leaving APC to contest on this Party, AAC because the sitting government has neglect the people of this state. The people are frustrated so we are coming to align them and reeducate our people on what to do in the public and what not to do.
"With the number of people behind me, I think I will emerge. Of course there are ways some political parties want to rig the election but I know that INEC will not allow that. If you want to defeat your opposition, don't defeat your opposition with just fifty, hundred, two thousand votes. Beat your opposition with about forty to thirty thousand votes so that it will be difficult to rig so we have to double our efforts.
"I am not in this race for negotiation because I have plans for the people. At my age, if I cannot contest to win an election, definitely I cannot be president. I am older than Yaya Bello and Tambuwwal who are contesting for president."
