The former Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Victor Olabimtan, has joined the governorship race.
According to him, “my word will be my bond and I pledge to treat Ondo State as one with development evenly distributed”.
At a briefing in Akure, the state capital, the Supare-Akoko-born politician and teacher declared his intention to run on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Olabimtan, a former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain and Commissioner in the Federal Civil Service, said his motive is to get the best for the citizens.
He said: “Our agenda is to align our systems, processes and outcomes to that of a modern state where things will work for all.
“There is need for justice, fairness and equity, we need emancipation and positive change in the state. We need a person who will see Ondo State as his own project and not that of his catchment area alone.”
