According to him, security of lives and property, mechanised farming and poverty alleviation, industrialisation and employment creation, health, education, good governance and innovative ideas would drive his government if elected.
He said there was an urgent need to unleash resources of Oyo State to massively boost Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and lift the people out of poverty into prosperity.
Adedibu further said it was paradoxical that the engineer in control of the state was powering street lights with generators instead solar lights that were the order of modern century.
