A top politician in Ekiti State, Chief Ojo Falegan, has expressed confidence that the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Hon. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, will win Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
A statement in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday by the Administrative Secretary, Ekiti Labour Party Elders’ Forum, Hon. Niyi Ajibulu, quoted Falegan as stating this while addressing a meeting of the forum in Ado-Ekiti.
Falegan, one of those who agitated for the creation of the state, said his prediction of victory for Bamidele was hinged on public opinion.
He described Bamidele, who represents Ekiti Central Constituency 1 in the National Assembly, as the best among contending candidates.
Referring to the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Dr Kayode Fayemi and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mr Ayodele Fayose, Falegan opined that they did not deserve another term of office.
According to him, those seeking another term of office had not done enough to be trusted with another term of office.
He said he was convinced that Bamidele was a genuine candidate who has the interest of the state at heart.
Falegan said Bamidele’s promise to do a term in office could be relied on and that his programmes for the development of the state were better than those of others.
He promised to go round to mobilise support for the LP candidate.
Members of the forum praised Falegan for his service to Ekiti people and his concern for the growth of the state.
