Imeko (Ogun)\u00a0 Retired Maj.-Gen. Adetunji Olurin, the PDP gubernatorial candidate in Ogun, on Saturday decried disunity among his kinsmen,\u00a0 Yewa\/Awori people, and promised to bring Mr Gboyega Isiaka back to the party.<\/p>\n

Isiaka, from the Yewa\/Awori stock in Ogun, recently led Gov. Gbenga Daniel\u2019s supporters to join to the rival Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN), following a bitter political rivalry among political leaders in the state.<\/p>\n

The struggle had pitted Daniel against former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who supports\u00a0 Olurin\u2019s candidacy, while Isiaka, the PPN candidate, is the choice of Daniel.<\/p>\n

Olurin said at a campaign rally in Imeko, Isiaka\u2019s community, that it would not be in the\u00a0 interest of Yewa\/Awori people to allow politics to divide them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not good for us Yewa\/Awori people to be disunited. We are one. Isiaka is my brother. When I become governor, I will work with him and I will make sure he comes back to PDP.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will make sure he is carried along in our quest to develop Ogun. We are going to work together for the progress of this state,\u2019\u2019 Olurin said.<\/p>\n

He also promised a downward review of tuition fees in Ogun-owned tertiary institutions if elected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand that students in state-owned tertiary institutions are paying exorbitant tuition fees. We are going to look into it with the aim of reviewing it downward,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Olurin also promised that his administration would make it possible for everybody to be educated and that all major roads in the state would be reconstructed to ensure easy\u00a0 movement of persons and goods.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have stayed in different parts of Ogun, I have seen the problem facing you, I promise\u00a0 that I will not fail you.<\/p>\n

\u201cI promise that I will alleviate all your poverty, if you give me the chance,\u2019\u2019 Olurin said.<\/p>\n

A former PDP Chairman in the state, Chief Joju Fadairo, urged the people not to vote for any candidate, who was not from PDP.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid. Nobody can do anything to you,\u2019\u2019 he said, adding: \u201cCome May 29, we are going to Oke-Mosan (Governor\u2019s office) with Olurin.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Mr Ndubuisi Ajoku, who spoke on behalf of the Igbo community, also pledged the group\u2019s support for the candidate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have observed all the gubernatorial candidates and we have come to the conclusion that Olurin is the best among them all,\u2019\u2019 he said. (NAN) Retired Maj.-Gen.
