A
member of the House of Representatives and Labour Party, LP, governorship
aspirant in Ekiti State, Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele has boasted that he has strong
political structure and goodwill in the state to defeat the incumbent governor,
Kayode Fayemi in any election. Opeyemi declared that the image and popularity
of his new party was increasing on daily basis despite its newness in the
state.
The
lawmaker, who recently decamped from All Progressives Congress, APC, to LP to
pursue his governorship ambition, also told his political detractors to refrain
from harassment, saying no amount of threats or killings would make him back
down on his governorship ambition.
Bamidele,
who is representing Ado/Irepodun/Ifelodun Federal Constituency, made the
statement in Ado Ekiti, yesterday, during the grand finale of his tour of the
16 local government areas.
The
lawmaker stated that the tentacles of LP have spread across the length and
breadth of the state, advising those referring to the party as under-dog to
have a rethink.
Donating
200 wheel-chairs to the physically challenged across the council areas,
Bamidele pledged that certain percentage of employment would be ceded to the group
for them to actualise their potentials if he is given the mandate to govern the
state.
He
said: “This is a mission we must actualise. A race I must pursue to the end to
put an end to the era of inconsistent policies and programmes in Ekiti. Ekiti
needs serious interventions at this critical time and God has given us the
scientific understanding of what the people’s needs are and how to solve them.
“LP
is a broad-based coalition of determined people who are ready to bring the
needed change to Ekiti. This is not a matter of political parties, but efforts
to rescue Ekiti from doldrums.”
Bamidele advised the APC and other interested parties in
the impending governorship election to embrace issue-based campaign and
disengage from any habit that could bring disrepute to the highly scholastic
and respectable people of the state.
