Former Commissioner for Health and a governorship aspirant in Lagos State, Dr Leke Pitan, on Tuesday, said he would deliver people-oriented programmes with special attention to grassroots development, if elected in 2015.
Pitan made the promise at a public declaration of his ambition to contest the governorship ticket on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
The event held at the Onikan Stadium, Lagos.
Highlighting his eight-point proposed programme, Pitan said he would strictly adhere to the party’s manifesto.
He pledged that if he was able to win the party’s ticket and achieve his dream, he would build on the achievements of the present administration.
“My vision is to be an instrument of change, which will guarantee true freedom as a result of entrenched democracy that ensures that the common Nigerian is given hope, and his purpose in life attained,” he said.
The aspirant added that he would be totally committed to implementing programmes that would ensure that the life of an average Lagos resident improved.
On the economy, he said his administration would provide opportunities for the common man to form the mainstay of the daily economy of the state.
“There will be mass housing schemes developed in appropriate areas of the state to provide affordable but conducive accommodation for the poor,” Pitan said.
He explained that his administration would continue with poverty alleviation in line with the party’s policy, adding that fresh ideas would evolve to reduce the level of unemployment. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
