EKITI DECIDES 2018: OSINBAJO, 12 APC GOVERNORS GRACE EKITI FOR FAYEMI
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and other dignitaries including, governors stormed Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital on Tuesday for a mega rally by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to canvass votes for its candidate in the July 14 governorship election, Dr Kayode Fayemi.
While addressing the rally, the Vice president implored the people of the state to return Ekiti to the fold of progressives, saying “PDP has done enough damage, let’s go out and vote for APC.”
Professor Osinbajo charged the people of Ekiti State to place Ekiti among the League of progressive states in the South West region and Nigeria by voting for Dr Fayemi in the July 14 election as he said he was the best man for the job.
Osinbajo, who spoke in the Yoruba language said: “Vote for APC so that we can make progress together, vote the progressive party and let us join the progressive train by voting for Dr Fayemi on July 14th.”
The Vice President and the national leaders of the APC had led no fewer than 12 governors to present the flag to Dr Fayemi.
Other leaders at the event included the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, and former Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, among others.
Fayemi, after receiving the party’s flag from Osinbajo and Oyegun, said the July 14 election would return Ekiti State to the path of progress and massive development.
He said it was time to put an end to poverty and misery, which the Fayose administration had brought on the state.
He said the incoming government under his leadership would restore free and qualitative education from primary to secondary schools as well as free health programme.
“We shall also restore the Youth in Commercial Agriculture Development (YCAD), the Youth Volunteer Scheme, pay students’ public examination fees, scholarships, health scheme for the vulnerable and community empowerment programmes, among other life-lifting programmes.
“We shall also restore the social security scheme for the elderly citizens, and our local Council Development Areas would come back.
“Together we shall use our PVCs to end the tyrannical government of the PDP in Ekiti State.
“Ekiti State people say no to the continuity of poverty, lack and fraud. We say no to the continuity of incompetence, no to the continuity of no salary and total disregard for human dignity,” Fayemi said
