governorship aspirant in Ekiti State, Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele,
formally declared his intention to contest the governorship of
the state in the 2014 election, expressing readiness to tap from
the experiences of former governors of the state.
Bamidele said he was ready to work with former Governors
Segun Oni, Ayo Fayose and Evangelist Bamidele Olumilua
and Kayode Fayemi, so that he could tap from their wealth of
experience for the transformation of the state.
The governorship hopeful, who spoke during his formal
admission to the LP after defecting from the All Progressives
Congress (APC), declared the party's readiness to take over
power from the APC controlled state government in 2014.
Describing Fayemi as an outgoing governor, Bamidele said: "I
am ready to work with him as a former governor when I get to
office in 2014. Fayemi has tried his best. I will give that to
him.
"But the best anybody can do is his best. I am contesting
because I can do better than he (Fayemi) has done. I will
complete all his ongoing projects. I will invite him to the
commissioning of such projects," he said.
Bamidele, who was confident that he would emerge the
governorship candidate in the party's primary and eventually
win the 2014 governorship, assured that he would ensure all
stakeholders in the state mattered and as well ensure
democracy at the grassroots.
At the event graced by PDP leaders, including the National
Chairman, Mr. Dan Nwanyanwu; former Steel and Power
Minister, Dr. Olu Agunloye; and Ondo State Governor, Dr.
Olusegun Mimiko, represented by his Chief of Staff, Dr Kola
Ademujimi; the LP leaders lamented that Ekiti was backward
in view of the inexperience of its governors.
Mimiko, who said Bamidele had got the necessary experience
with which he could take the state to the promised land,
appealed to Ekiti people to vote for LP to stop having
inexperienced people as governor.
