Aspirant promises to restore Ekiti’s glory

All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Ekiti State Chief Dele Okeya has promised to restore the lost glory of the state, if elected at the poll.

Okeya, who accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration of impoverishing the people, promised to promote public welfare.

He spoke in Emure-Ekiti during the inauguration of his campaign coordinators for the 16 local government areas.

Okeya said he has the capacity and experience to lead the state, charging the coordinators to justify the confidence reposed in them.

He said that the rebirth of Ekiti State was necessary to boost the peoples’ confidence in the democratic system.

Okeya said: “I am ready to serve Ekiti to restore the lost glory, our virtues and values. Ekiti is not known for street begging, we are known for self esteem, high moral standard and respect for elders. I am bringing light to Ekiti and when light appears, darkness disappears.”

He urged delegates at the primary to shun money politics and focus on the antecedents of contestants. He said: “The desired goals could only be achieved by the party and Ekiti when a honest and experienced leader is put at the helm of affairs.”

Okeya advised the coordinators to be faithful in the discharge of their responsibilities. He said no “foreign politicians” would be imposed on them while selecting people into various political offices.

The Director General Dele Okeya Campaign Organisation, Chief Kehinde Babatola, urged them to work hard for the success of the aspirant during the primary.
