An aspirant for the Ekiti East Constituency II seat in the Ekiti State House of Assembly, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Barrister Tajudeen Ahmed, on Thursday, took his campaign train round strategic locations and wards in his hometown, Ilasa-Ekiti, to mobilize support for Governor Biodun Oyebanji ahead of the June 20 governorship election.
At the various places visited, including markets and public spaces, Barrister Ahmed, who was accompanied by his loyalists and some party leaders, educated residents on the policies and programmes of Governor Oyebanji.
He urged them to turn out in large numbers on election day and vote for the Governor.
Addressing journalists after the exercise, Barrister Ahmed, who has been endorsed by party leaders, said the mobilisation drive was part of strategies to ensure Governor Oyebanji secures a landslide victory.
He noted that while the election is a “done deal” for the Governor due to his performance and popularity, the party is targeting 500,000 votes — an unprecedented figure in Ekiti’s political history.
Barrister Ahmed promised to use his experience and expertise to sponsor bills that will positively impact his constituents if given the opportunity to serve.
Those present at the program were Hon. Akanle Lateef, member HOA, Hon. Anthonia Alaba Omonusi, Chairman Ekiti South East LCDA, the APC stakeholders, members of the party and faithful, Bike men and market women
