The APC candidate said  that if elected, his administration would ensure active participation of communities in the council, irrespective of political leanings.

“I will employ the services of all the Community Development Association (CDAs) within our communities because they live with the people and  are aware of challenges confronting them,” he said.

On security of lives and property, Kumayon promised to ensure  a conducive environment within the limits of his administration.

According to him, all residents  of  Olorunda LCDA will go about their daily activities without  hindrances.or fear.

“There won’t be religious bias, everybody will be adequately taken care of in various communities in a manner that they will be able to sleep with their two eyes closed,” he said.

On youth  and women empowerment, Kumayon said he intended to engage the youths and women in skills acquisition programmes that would stand the test of time and guarantee sustainability.

“We are going to provide a skills acquisition center for the youths and also  engage them in learning advancements in  technology.

“We are going to engage the youths in sports activities, so, when most of them are engaged, there won’t be time for vandalism and criminality.

“They say an idle mind is the devil’s workshop,  so,  we will ensure that the youths are  occupied and trained  to  think positively,” he said.

Kumayon assured that  his achievements would surpass that of past chairmen if elected. (NAN)
