Osogbo, the capital of Osun State was agog on Tuesday 26th April 2022, when Insurance guru, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi joined the governorship race on the platform of the Accord Party. Ogunbiyi who resigned from the PDP a few months back because of the shoddy way he was treated by the party leadership, received the Accord Party flag from the National Chairman of the party, Hon.Muhammad Lawal Nalado. He was ably supported by other national leaders of the party, in attendance.
The Grand declaration took place at Freedom Square at the centre of town. Many of the commercial buses and okada riders drove round town with Akin Ogunbiyi‘s posters. A lot of party members wore the branded Yellow tee shirts and Face caps. Ogunbiyi‘s running mate, Alhaji Kunle Jimoh was also presented to the mammoth crowd. They both addressed the crowd, promising to fulfill their promise of Iyipada Otun Rere Fun Olukuluku(From Poverty To Prosperity).
Dr. Akinade Akanmu Ogunbiyi delivered a brilliant speech titled, Achieving Great Success, Despite Problematic Circumstances.
He mentioned Education, Infrastructure, Healthcare, Poverty Eradication, Job Creation, and Security, as the key focus of his administration.
He also added that the mantra of his government will be Industrialization. He also said, “We will have compulsory free primary education in Osun State.
Many of the Osun State indigenes, at the venue, who spoke to CityPeople, see Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi as a breath of fresh air and they all insist that this accomplished technocrat is the kind of leader Osun state needs at a time like this.
