Erstwhile Super Eagles Captain Chief Segun Odegbami on Wednesday declared his intentions to run for Governorship seat in Ogun State under the platform of Labour Party.
Chief Olusegun Odegbami while declaring at the Party Secretariat at Quarry road in Abeokuta promised to improve the health sector of the state, if elected the governor of the state in the 2019 general elections.
He noted that qualitative health care delivery and education would be his priority when he gets to power.
He said, “our government which would be led by Labour Party will provide qualitative healthcare delivery system by building hospitals where necessary. Necessary facilities for proper care, including drugs and personnel would be provided.
“I believe that only people with sound health can work and even enjoy any amenities provided by government”.
He noted that hospitals in Nigeria had turned to mortuary because they lacked necessary facilities they needed to save lives of Nigerians
Citing the instance of his mother, Odegbami noted that his mother died eleven years after medical doctors in Nigeria had written her off.
He noted that there is no single public hospital in the country, where an incubator is available for premature babies, which he said has become a thing of the past in advanced countries.
On education, the legend footballer while berating the falling standard of education in the country, said his government will provide education that will make our graduates to be employable and as well provide jobs for other people.
In his address, the Labour Party Chairman in Ogun State, Comrade Abayomi Arabambi while welcoming Chief Odegbami and other Party supporters, frowned at the failure of the  APC led government in the State to face various challenges facing the people saying that the problem persist because ” the APC government lacks ideology”.
He said Labour Party remains the only political party that is ready to change the political order which has failed to fashion a State that works for all
Comrade Arabambi vowed that LP led government will do everything within its power to reposition the civil service to  vibrancy and also ensure that it runs a people government.
