THE governorship candidate of the Ondo State Social Democratic Party (SDP), Dr. Olu Agunloye, has promised to bring transformation, if he wins the November 26 poll.
He noted that with its abundant human and natural resources, Ondo State deserves to be a model among states.
But he said the state was being hindered by lack of good leadership.
Agunloye emerged as governorship candidate of the SDP at the weekend.
He was the sole candidate, and was unanimously adopted by 310 delegates across the 18 local governments.
Agunloye was a former minister of Power under former President Olusegun Obasanjo. He was also pioneer Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) corps. marshall.
He hailed party members and the delegates for finding him worthy to carry the party's flag in the election.
"I accept the flag of the party and the responsibility associated with it. I assure you that I will not let the party down and will carry the flag to victory and install it high at the Government House in February 2017."
The Chairman of SDP, Chief Korede Duyile, said the primary election was conducted in line with INEC's guidelines.
"The directive from INEC guideline stipulates that all participating parties should conduct their primaries between August18 and September 19.
"This shows our level of preparation for the election and pointer to our readiness for governance.
"I want to make it known to everybody that Agunloye has been a man tested in public offices in the past and has been successful in all,'' he said.
Duyile called on security agencies to take appropriate measures to ensure safety of the people before, during and after the election.
He called on traditional rulers, elder statesmen, community leaders and parents to encourage other political parties to shun violence.
