Edo State`s All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant, Arc. Ilenre Austin Emuan (MNIA) has promised to build on the progressive legacies of former Bendel state governor, late Prof. Ambrose Alli, if elected as governor.
In his interview with newsmen in Ekpoma, Esan west Local Government of Edo state, he said that it is important that the outgoing governor should hand over to a competent person, who will continue to implement the manifestos of the ruling APC party.
Arc. Emuan, said the industrialization of the state will be the priority of his administration, adding that it is the panacea to unemployment.
Praising the former Bendel state governor, late Prof. Ambrose Alli and the outgoing governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole for laying a solid foundation for the future of Edo, he said his successor should be able to keep the flag flying in the post-Oshiomhole period.
The aspirant said he will make Edo a technological haven and harness the abundant human and material resources to fuel development.
He said: “The world of today runs on the pivot of technology. Also, the future of the world depends and shall continuously depend on technology. How to clean up the polluted world, reforest, build up depleting biodiversity and other ecological resources and what means to be used lies with technology.
The shape of life on earth and things to come also depend on technology. This is why we will quickly make Edo the technological heartbeat of Nigeria.”
Arc. Emuan added: “To make Edo the technological and socio-economic heartbeat, we will promote intense inter-state trade and increase interaction between local researchers, innovators, designers, fabricators, assemblers and research and development professionals in all spheres.”
The aspirant promised to run what he described as a neo-welfarist state. He said: “By neo-structural welfarism, I mean a new way of thinking. The old structure is like the old economy. But this is a new way of doing things. This is tapping into the knowledge of the new economy. The political economy of the world today is distraught in economic disparity, resulting into economic maladjustment, giving room for poverty, deepened insecurity and terrorism. This is the old order.
“ If we continue on this path, we are obviously heading for Armageddon. This is the reason why neo-structural welfarism is concerned with restructuring capitalism, which is the pivotal of greed. The best way to go is not to destroy capitalism, but to re-define it. In other words, there has to be a balance between capitalism and some paradigm of socialism so that wealth can be evenly distributed.”
“I carried out a research early in the year and discovered that in 1820, the ratio of rich to poor was one to three. But, as at 2013, it has gone to one to 88. That means that the wealth of this world is in the hand of few people. For me as a neo-structural scholar, this is what I stand to correct in Edo State and Nigeria, using Edo as an economic model.”
He concluded by assuring all APC delegates at the primaries to nominate him and solicit mass votes from all edo state indigenes to for him as the next governor of the state.
