A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chieftain in Oyo State, Engineer Popoola Olukayode-Joshua on Thursday declared his intention to contest the  state’s governorship position in 2023.
Speaking at the declaration of his governorship ambition, Engineer Popoola said his decision to contest the governorship seat is because of the fact that Oyo State deserves the best governor in 2023.

The PDP governorship aspirant pointed out that as at present , the security situation in the state is nothing to write home about as it is worsening day by day.
” Our party is known for peace and development but today, reverse is the case in Oyo state. None of us is secured again. This is simply because we empowered trouble makers”, he said. 

Engr Popoola added, “in as much as I agree that security in Nigeria is a national issue but we all know that the magnitude of insecurity in the north is not applicable in the South but ours is handmade. That is why we need a TRUE son of the land like POJ who knows the plight of his people to take over at this stage”. 
The PDP governorship aspirant tasked the Governor Seyi Makinde led administration in Oyo state to tell the people of the state the truth about the arrest and detain of the accountant general of the state and that the governor should give account of the borrowing of his administration in the last two years with that of the last administration.
According to the PDP governorship aspirant, ” development of any nation largely depends on security of lives and properties.” 
Commenting on the economy, Engineer Popoola said, ” for how long can we continue to borrow money for payment of salaries? For how long can we empower strangers from Osun state to determine our fate in Oyo state? 
” Our leaders are yet to tell us why the state accountant general was arrested and detained. The only statement the government made was they are harassing them. Is that harassment or they should tell us how much they have stolen? They pretend to be saint when they are even worse than devil. We want accountability not pretence.” 
Engineer Popoola stressed ,” in the face of the aforementioned, with great enthusiasm, love for our state, a fierce commitment to a vision of rapid progress, and encouragement of family, friends, associates, and well-wishers, I offer myself and declare to contest the 2022 governorship election in Oyo State on the platform of our party. I am well equipped to defeat the incumbent.”
