A political group in Ekiti State saddled with the responsibility of claiming the political leadership of the state, Ekiti Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Progressives, has inaugurated its coordinators for the state.
According to a statement, these coordinators are to act as campaign managers ‘foot soldiers’ and community relations officers.
The Patron and Chairman of the PDP Progressives Campaign Council, Dr. Ife Arowosoge, said the lost glory of the party could only be reclaimed if Asiwaju Segun Oni, a former governor and a gubernatorial aspirant of the PDP is elected the next governor of Ekiti State.
In his address, the DG Campaign Council of the group implored the coordinators and the delegates to be honest and at their best to make Asiwaju Segun Oni the next governor of the state.
In his remark, Director, Mobilization Campaign Council and State Coordinator of the PDP Progressives, Hon Wale Ayeni said the state needs good governance. “Democracy is known to be the government of the people by the people and for the people and not the government of the people by a dictator who has mismanaged the state treasury. Ex- governor Segun Oni’s experience is needed to move the state forward.
The event which took place at Ifaki, the Ekiti home of Oni, witnessed a great turnout of political dignitaries from the three senatorial districts in the state. Former commissioners and board members were also present.
In addition, Local Government chairmen, secretaries, women leaders, youth leaders, local government executives and delegates were all accredited and inaugurated at the event.
Deji Odutola, former chairman of Ido Osi Local Government and Hon Ganiyu Bello, both leaders of E4 Group of PDP Progressives led their members to the grand event.
The presence of a popular founding father of PDP Ekiti State, Chief Sanya Okebiorun, popularly known as ‘Gbosa’ from Irepodun Ifelodun Local Government appreciated for the total support from his local government.
At the peak of the occasion, an NGO for the needy, The Dominion, donated the sum of 5million naira for the campaign.
