A former Deputy Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Hon Mayowa Akinfolarin, has promised to focus on the informal sector if elected as Governor of the Sunshine State.
Hon Akinfolarin, who served in the House of Representatives for eight years, said Ondo state need to be reconfigured.
Akinfolarin said he would reconfigure the developmental structure of this state to bridge the gap between government and the people.
He said his planned focus on the informal sector was because it provided employment for majority of residents in the state.
The former Deputy Speaker said his desire to govern the state was to correct the wrongs of the past.
On the death of Akeredolu, Akinfolarin said the people would be unkind to the late former Governor if nothing was done to immortalize him.
His words, “We will be very unkind to Aketi if nothing is done to immortalize him. This was a man that came with good intentions, he did his best, he was not a pretender, he was a practical person and ensured not only the state but the entire southwest region was safe through the Amotekun Corps.
