Omoniyi, equally declared that within the time frame, all the health centres in the state will not only be upgraded and equipped, indigenes of the state will start to enjoy free healthcare delivery.
The ANRP governorship candidate gave these declarations at the weekend, in Ijebu-Ife,  Ijebu East local government area of the state, during the official unveiling of his running mate, Alhaja Adenokun Risikat Olusesan.
Ominiyi, who said empowerment of youths and women would be the fulcrum of his administration, disclosed that jobless youth will be engaged through what he termed “youth engagement programme”.
According to him, the programme will provide jobs for young school leavers and graduates, while skills acquisition centres will be built to train others in different vocations.
Speaking further on the health scheme, Ominiyi, observed that primary health centres in the state are ill-equipped and deliver poor healthcare services at high cost,  reiterating he would ensure indigenes of Ogun enjoy free and quality healthcare under four months of the inauguration of his administration.
On his choice of running mate,  Omoniyi, explained that Alhaja Adenokun’s experience as a retired teacher and successful farmer, would come handy in the implementation of ANRP’s programmes in education, particularly, teachers welfare and agriculture.
He added that the former  chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the immediate chairman of Consultative Advisory Committee (CAC) in Ijebu East local government, has the political connection to ensure victory for ANRP in the state at the next year’s poll.
He expressed confidence that his party will win the governorship election in Ogun come 2019. He, however, urged party members not to trade their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) for any amount of money, noting the PVCs are the key to their secure future.
“Don’t trade your PVCs for any amount of money, they are your secure future.  No amount of money is worth trading or mortgaging your future for. ANRP is the party for all.
“This is the main reason why I settled for a retired teacher and successful farmer as my running mate. As you are all aware, education and agriculture are important areas our government intends to focus on, and I believe Alhaja here has the requisite experience to help us in this regard”, Omoniyi stated.
 In her remark at the event, the ANRP deputy governorship candidate, said she was surprised to be announced as a deputy to Omoniyi as she joined the party just two weeks ago.
She added that she would mobilize people at the grassroots, particularly women for the success of the party in Ogun state In 2019.
