By Steve Oni, Ilorin

Governorship candidate of Labour Party in Kwara state, Comrade Isaa Aremu has disclosed that his government if elected in 2019, will create factories in the 16 local councils in the state.

He also promised to raise literacy level in the state to 90 per cent even as he pledged that elderly persons of 60 years of age and above will enjoy special cash grant

The governorship candidate spoke at the 23rd media interactive session organised by the Kwara State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) for candidates seeking political offices in the state ahead of 2019 general elections.

Aremu, an economic expert, said there was the need to resuscitate the moribund industries in the state if the economy of the 51 year old state must pick up again.

He said the rationale behind the revival of industries and companies by his government was a calculated attempt to generate massive employment opportunities and increase the state Gross Domestic Products (GDP) for better living of all and sundry.

Aremu stated that he had offered himself to put an end to 16 years of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in kwara state and called on kwarans to hold him accountable if he fails to redeem his electioneering campaign.

He said the major vehicle for an enduring prosperity in all known human societies is availability of industries that will not only lubricate the economy but also provide numerous job opportunities for the teeming unemployed youths and adults.

Aremu noted that the Labour Party manifesto was hinged on ‘five Ps’ which he mentioned as People, Prosperity, Popular Participation, Partnership and Peace, pointing out that his blueprint as a democratic labour governor God willing is encapsulated in the above 5-Ps.
