The Ogun State 2015 UPN governorship candidate, Otunba Rotimi Paseda has rejoiced with Nigerians on the occasion of celebration of the New Year urging them to pray that God will use major players in the three tiers of government to better the lot of the citizenry.
He also enjoined the people of the country to amend their ways and do things with moderation as we continue to grapple with the challenges of development and nation-building while calling on Governments at all levels to be focused on achievements of significant improvements in priority areas such as public infrastructure, power supply, industrialization, job creation, agriculture, health and education for a realistic and positive change in the living conditions of the people.
In a statement by Michael-Azeez Ogunsiji, his Media Director, Paseda said: “The country’s potentials are enormous for achieving great economic turn-around despite the fuel scarcity period we are presently going through and this could be a blessing in disguise and an opportunity for Nigerians to look inwards by developing our local contents and effecting outright adjustment in our ways of life.”
He also renewed his call for true Federalism as the best attempt at achieving equity, economic growth, justice and peace in all the geo-political zones of the country and fulfilling the dreams of the nation’s founding fathers.
Paseda therefore, advised the electorate to be cautious in their choice of representatives at different levels of governance as we go into the New Year that will be full of electoral activities and electioneering campaigns.
While wishing the people of Ogun State all the good things in the New Year, the politician said it is the followers that determine who lead them through the ballot and it is only advisable people think twice before making their respective choices in order not to elect ill-prepared candidates with no clear-cut programmes of action.
