Fielding questions from Journalists  during a wellness-walk in Akure on Saturday,  the former Deputy governor in Ondo state,  said election is about the people, insisting that, the people of the state are solidly behind him and anxiously waiting for him to lead the state.

Agbo who said the era of vote buying has gone in the state submitted that, the people have seen the negative effect of selling their votes, thus cannot afford to go that route again “hence their resolve to pitch their tent with somebody they know understands the road and how to navigate it to their advantage. 

” They are no stranger to my service delivery ability. They have trusted me severally with their mandates on different capacity without letting them down. That is why they prayed that I get the ticket to fly the banner of our party, the PDP and since  God has graciously granted that prayer, there is nothing stopping us.

“They know who  Agbo is and  what he is capable of doing. They are waiting  to cast their votes for me because they know this effort is about their liberation ” 

As the governor of the state, Agbo said he will be less dependent on federal allocation, ensure youths are empowered and people create wealth everywhere in the state instead of limiting wealth creation to the state’s capital. 

” The era of waiting till people relocate to the capital city before they can create wealth or be successful entrepreneurs will be over.

” I will focus on the provision of the enabling infrastructures that will in no time, make it easy for the people  to grow economically and enable  government  increase and solidify it’s financial base. 

” At the initial period of our administration , the  focus will be  more on the provision of the needed infrastructures that will drive the economy of the state, to the point of independence from federal allocation” he discolored.
