- Says Banji Okunomo is too young to fumble if he secures the ticket of the party and become governor
The Ondo State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Engr Clement Faboyede, has said that Banji Okunomo is too young to fumble if he is able to clinch the ticket of the party and become the governor of the state.
Starnews NG reports that Faboyede also said that Okunomo is a young vibrant man who has put life into the contest of PDP in Ondo State.
The PDP chairman made this statement on Saturday while addressing Okunomo, the leading governorship aspirant of the PDP and crop of Party Leaders that followed him at Parliament Hotel in Akure, the State Capital.
Asked to expatiate on what he meant by Okunomo is too young to fumble, the outspoken Faboyede said.
“I said Banji Okunomo is too young to fumble because he has to command culture with empathy, with normalcy and with authority to go about his campaign and he has been doing that.”
“He is very young and if he is able to clinch the ticket of the party and become the governor of Ondo State, he must deliver because of the age on his side. That’s why I said he is too young to fumble”.
“This is because if a 70 or 75 years of age fumbles, he can retire and go back home but Banji Okunomo is less down 50 years of age, I think he is forty-something but don’t really know the actual age. But the truth is that, if he fumbles, he would live more of his lives to suffer for it.”
“He must respect elders, he must respect other aspirants, he must be cultured, he must be positively out looking. He is a young vibrant man that has put life into the contest of PDP.”
“He has engraved the PDP contest with a life of agility and ability. So let him continues but I must repeat again, that in all ramifications, in times of culture, humility, integrity, and in times of keeping promises, Banji Okunomo is too young to fumble.”

FRSC seizes 222 trailers conveying 3,169 passengers The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) inter-agency task force has apprehended 222 trailers transporting 3,169 passengers across Niger, Bauchi, Taraba, and Kaduna states. The task force, established to curb the transportation of passengers alongside goods, aims to reduce road traffic accidents and associated casualties caused by the reckless conduct of trailer drivers. Corps Marshal Dauda Ali-Biu announced during a press briefing in Abuja that the initiative involves collaboration with various transport unions, security agencies, and traffic management authorities. “As part of the operations, the JTF dropped over 2,440 passengers who were mandated to take alternative vehicles designed for conveying passengers. “Since the commencement of the JTF on March 23, the monster of road traffic crashes involving trailers and the fatalities that come with them have been adequately tamed and the situation arrested on all fronts,” he said. Mr Ali-Biu added that the corps had gone a step further by prosecuting recalcitrant trailer drivers aside the conventional enforcement of traffic regulations. This, he said, was done through mobile courts in the 36 states of the federation and the FCT. “Subsequently, more drastic measures, including suspension and withdrawal of the national driver’s licence, will be carried out. “Permit me to reiterate at this critical moment that, on our part, as an agency of government charged with road safety supervision, we have resolved to continue in our strive to make the nation’s highways safe. “Part of our resolve is to consolidate on the gains recorded so far through the strategic combat operations of the joint task force. “We have decided to sustain the tempo by extending the operations of the JTF to other critical corridors across the nation. “The essence of this extension is to give it a holistic approach,” the corps marshal said.FRSC seizes 222 trailers conveying 3,169 passengers The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) inter-agency task force has apprehended 222 trailers transporting 3,169 passengers across Niger, Bauchi, Taraba, and Kaduna states.
