Former governorship aspirant in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Osun State, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi has warned the people of the State not to choose a leader who is clulessless to run the State.
Ogunbiyi gave the warning on Monday at at summit organised by Civil Society Committee For Anti-fraud Election Security in Osogbo, the State capital.
He said one of the candidates contesting to become the governor of the State is a secondary school drop out and the people must not watch that to happen.

He urged the people of Osun to do all within their power to elect credible candidate to change the fortune of the state.
“A secondary school drop out wants to become the governor of Osun State, can you watch and allow that to happen? because the consequences will be serious.
“The problem in Osun is not civil service, it is not the infrastructure, it is about making Osun an industrialised state. It was the vision of the funding fathers to make Osun an industrialised state, that is yet to happen.
“The only thing to make change to happen is to elect credible leaders. Do everything within your power to have credible election in Osun State, he said.” .
Ogunbiyi who recently dumped the main opposition party in the State, PDP is yet to make public his new political party but declared at the event that he would contest in the July 16th governorship election.
He said “I want to participate in the governorship election in Osun state. I am presenting myself to the people of Osun and I want to say that I did not say that you must support anybody but present a level playing ground for all to allow credible leader to emerge.
