In furtherance of the electioneering of its candidate, Hon. Bamidele Opeyemi, the Labour Party in Ekiti State would officially flag off its campaign in Ido Ekiti, headquarters of Ido/Osi Local Government on March 27, 2014 for the state’s governorship election.
The campaign train will on March 29 move to Gbonyin and Ekiti East local governments, both in the southern senatorial district of the state.
In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday by Chief Bolanle Olatunde-Bruce, its Media and Publicity Secretary, the LP said the mega rally, which promises to be grand, would afford Bamidele the opportunity to unveil his manifesto.
The party urged its members to conduct themselves in an orderly manner such that would make them continue to set the pace for other parties in the state.
Hon. Akin Omole, the state party Chairman, charged members of the party from Ekiti North Senatorial District, comprising Ido/Osi, Moba, Oye, Ikole and Ilejemeje local governments, to troop out en masse to witness this epoch-making event.
Omole also appealed to security agencies to be alive to their responsibilities by ensuring that adequate security is put in place to checkmate those with evil intentions from disrupting the rally or attacking his members.
Omole promised that the party will make the campaign issue-based and agenda-driven, devoid of name calling or rancour.
The party leader equally assured the host community that it has nothing to fear, describing the Labour Party as the most peaceful and most disciplined political party in Ekiti State.
