He promised an infrastructural revolution in the state.
* Industrial revolution: Comrade Babasola Adegbuyi Ogunwa promised to carry out a massive industrial revolution in Ogun state with the view to repositioning Olokonla LNG. This he intend doing through sponsoring of bills to the state assembly in that effect.

He promised power generation by the state government to woo and encourage investors into the state. He also promised negotiations for wavers to encourage investors into the state and to provide an enabling environment for doing business in the state.
It is on the basis of the aforementioned that he intends to contest the coming gubernatorial election in Ogun state under the platform of the Young Progressive Party. He believes that it is only through YPP that he can achieve his aspiration as the only political platform without godfathers. Among political parties clamouring for youths participation in Nigeria, Comrade Babasola Adegbuyi Ogunwa noted that YPP remains the only political platform championing the true course of youths participation in government. He therefore call on well meaning young Nigerians with integrity to join YPP as only credible platform.
