“The Senate is the upper legislative chamber for matured minds. For me, I have been around in Osun, I was a cabinet member in the Akande administration as the Commissioner for Water Resources and Lands that endeared me to the people. During our tenure, health care was free and Osun did not go on strike because we made them happy”

He went further that he was the pioneer leader of Oranmiyan Movement.  “I became a prominent member of NADECO.  Bola Ige encouraged me and others because we are very young, It was through that ideals I became a politician. I know my people,  and my people know me and I know how to represent them.”

When asked if he thinks his party can win the election? He has this to say, “People make up the party.  The reality is there. A lot of disenchantment in the major political parties, APC and PDP, I am sure of victory.”

The former Commissioner said “Osun Central has the capacity to be the leading zone in terms of employment generation and human capital development.  The people are clamouring for regurgitation of the two moribund Nigerian Machine Tools and Osogbo Steels Rolling Mills. It has the capacity to turn around the economic fortunes of the state and the country. Several groups have demanded for this and I surely use my office to get it done.”

Chief Oyeduntan was asked why he left APC being a progressive party, he said he is still a progressive to the core but said APC is never a progressive party.

“I have not left the progressives fold, though I have left APC. APC is no longer in the character of the progressives. We still have few progressive-minded people left there but the party is no longer a progressive party.”

“The Chairman of APC, Prince Gboyega Famodun, quote me, is not a progressive.  Whatever is left in the party are ‘carpetbaggers’ claiming the empty shell of progressivism”

He said,

“the issue of unemployment can only be resolved if the economy is okay, it is not about the graduate employment alone but it involved all the unemployed.”
