Ahead of the
2018 governorship election in Ekiti State, a socio-political group known as
Ekiti Heritage Platform has called on the people of Ekiti State to be sensitive
in choosing the next governor who will pilot the affairs of the state for
another four years after the expiration of governor Ayodele Fayose in office.
The group is
established to sensitise the people of Ekiti state on the need to vote for a
visionary leadership that will drive the state to her economic haven.
Speaking
with Naijanewsonline
yesterday, the group’s coordinator, Ayo Fapohunda berated the state governor
Dr.Peter Fayose over his attitude towards the state’s economic situation saying
the governor has plundered the resources of Ekiti state.
While
affirming the group’s recent endorsement of a top contender in the governorship
race in Ekiti state,Fapohunda said the endorsement of Akogun Banji Ojo by the
group was as a result of a research carried out by a 10-man committee on the
aspirants in the state both in the ruling party PDP and the APC, and having accessed the
programmes of Akogun Ojo and his antecedents,EHP resolved to endorse his
aspiration.
His words: ‘’Our
group is committed to mobilising support for a leadership that is driven by
vision and compassion. Ekiti state is at the verge of economic explosion
because the state is plunged into debts and it’s our collective responsibilities to salvage the hands of poor
managers of our resources.
''We cannot fold our arms and watch some people take
our resources to a halt. We are prepared for the change of baton which informed
our collective decision to endorse Akogun Banji Ojo.’’
Fapohunda
said the group has been actively involved in the electoral process and would
continue to pursue that which is just and fair among the citizenry.
The group
also urged the people of the state to join hands with the group in its drive to
make Ekiti a better place.
