The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the Osun State governorship election, Najeem Salaam, has said his experience in governance and academic background make him qualified to lead the state.
Salaam spoke during the Arise Television townhall for governorship candidates ahead of Saturday’s election, explaining that he was seeking the governorship to build on the achievements of previous administrations and address the state’s current challenges.
“I’m contesting to build on achievement of past governments that did it well and to correct the challenges that we have today,” Salaam said.
He said his administration, if elected, would focus on closing identified gaps in governance and developing the state while ensuring that government remained accountable to the people.
“I’m going to develop Osun in a better way and give people the government that belong to them to tell the whole world that my own government is going to be a people-centred government,” he said.
