Ulinfun declares interest in Edo Governorship race

The number of aspirants declaring interest to govern Edo State on the platform of the Labour Party got swollen over the weekend with the affirmation of interest by  Mr. Kingsley Uaifo Ulinfun

The declaration of interest ceremony which was tagged "Equity 2024" took place at the Bishop Kelly Pastoral Centre Benin

The former banker who addressed supporters and journalists unveiled his blueprint which details how he intends to empower two thousand - five hundred (2,500) youths with five million naira grants each to bring to reality their entrepreneurial drive as to make them creators of at least 50,000 jobs. 

Sixty (60%) percent of such beneficiaries he said would be women to fasten the developmental drive of the state.

This empowerment process, he posited, would be replicated every year, for the next four (4) years if voted into office to help trickle development to the grassroots..

Voicing on being the best man for the job, he talked about his plans for education, infrastructure development and repair of roads, focus on primary health care development and health insurance for all Edo citizens to cut down maternal and neonatal mortalities and even preventable deaths from malaria sickness due to the present paucity of funds in society.

Mr Ulinfun  lampooned democratically elected governments for the failure to enact people centric policies since 1999.

He  promised to be transparent at governance if elected and work for the good and total welfare of Edo State citizens despite the lack of belief by sceptics who insist that it is financially risky to have bankers pilot the seat of democratic governance.
