‘Ekiti needs a selfless governor’

As Ekiti State prepares for the governorship poll, a group, the Ekiti West Youth Movement (EWYM), has  advised  the youths  to elect a selfless governor.

The group said the next governor should be able to foster development and guarantee prosperity for the people.

According to the group, the greatest impediment to the development and progress of Ekiti  was the penchant for abandoning  the policies initiated by the past administration due to political differences and hatred.

Speaking at a summit in Aramoko Ekiti, where Ekiti youth leaders were hosted, the guest speaker , Comrade  Gbenga Ogedengbe, said  that “2018  and 2019 present fresh  opportunities for youths to correct the past mistakes by voting wisely.”

Dignitaries at the event included  Commissioner for Agriculture in Ekiti State, Hon. Kehinde Odebunmi, Prof. Kehinde Oluwadiya, Rev Akingbade  and  the President of EWYM, Comrade Dada Adebowale, former Acting Governor Tope Ademiluyi, the senator representing Ekiti Central, Fatimat Raji Rasaki.

Ogedengbe said: “Let us jettison partisan and pecuniary interests, mobilise ourselves and vote for candidates at both state and national levels who have the will ,  drives, experiences and history of public service we can rely on.

“Three towns in a constituency, Ikogosi, Erinjiyan and Ipole have not had electricity for three years. No single functional industry in Ekiti. Salaries and pensions were not being paid , unemployment is nothing to write home about. We  must jettison pecuniary interest and vote the right governor in the coming election who can build on the achievement.”

The President of the group, Adebowale  added that the movement was not being sponsored by any political party , threatening that the movement will deal decisively with those who always abandon the people after being elected a bitter lesson.

“Again, we will start publishing their poor performances soon and make

it public for Ekiti to know their records”.

An academic, Prof Kehinde Oluwadiya,  urged the youths to take their

education serious and be conscious of what happens in the environment.
