Governor Ademola Adeleke has condemned the recently released economic blueprint |of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, |Muniru Bola Oyebamiji, describing it as “capital flight-oriented, old school thinking and behind the news of current socio-economic advances under Governor Ademola Adeleke.”
In a statement issued on Sunday in Osogbo, Governor Adeleke noted that a review of Mr Oyebamiji’s economic plans confirms that his ideas are outdated, in conflict with the progressive ideals he professes and a condemnable attempt to reverse the economic boom currently being enjoyed by Osun people, declaring that “Mr Oyebamiji, by his own admission, seeks to return Osun to the old era of capital flight to Lagos and a suppressive tax regime to reimpose extreme poverty on Osun people.”
“The Adeleke economic blueprint is focused on local content for citizens’ empowerment, grassroots and artisans’ financial inclusion, bridging the infrastructure deficit to fast-track economic growth, widening the tax base with reduced tax rates, integrated easing of the business environment to attract investment, agro-industrialisation through revived economic and free trade zones, mining sector reforms to diversify the state economy, among others.
The current plan is people-based in conception and people-focused in implementation. He added.
“The Adeleke economic plan currently being implemented has empowered the grassroots economy through artisan and cooperative financing of almost four billion naira; enhanced local businesses through strict implementation of the local content policy in procurement and workforce management; reinvigorated the Osun Digital Economy hub to tap into the multi-billion-dollar global industry; increased Internally Generated Revenue through tax harmonisation and digitisation; relaunched industrialisation through the revival of Osun free trade zones; reduced state debt stock through sustainable debt management; revived agro-mechanisation and cocoa revolution; re-engineered partnership for growth with Osun businesses through the Osun State Chamber of Commerce; and deepened investment drive through strong public-private partnership, among others.
