Oluwawole, has taken the campaign train of Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) candidate, Prof. Kolapo Olusola (aka Eleka) to the nooks and
crannies of Moba Local Government Area of the state.
The Speaker, who addressed a mammoth crowd at Osun-Ekiti, also met
with members of Hausa, Fulani and Igbo communities in the local
government, given assurances on the commitment of the PDP candidate in
the July 14 gubernatorial election to their needs.
According to a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Stephen
Gbadamosi, on Wednesday, at Sabo in Otun-Ekiti, Oluwawole disclosed
that he came to the Hausa community to thank the members for their
deeds of the past.
"When I wanted to go to the House of Assembly, you prayed for me and I
became successful. We want you to also pray for us now and vote for
the PDP in the coming governorship election. Cast your vote where you
see the umbrella symbol.
"You have been here for a long time. You have been cohabiting with us
peacefully. Please, this time, vote for PDP again massively. All your
needs will be met," he said.
The Speaker, who was accompanied by PDP leaders in Moba Local
Government, including Chief Gboyè Afilaka; State Publicity Secretary
of the party, Jackson Adebayo; the local government chairman, Mr Femi
Ayeni; among others, spoke similarly in Otun-Ekiti, where he met the
Igbo community, as well as all the areas inhabited by the Fulani.
Leaders of the non-indigene communities, including the Séríkí Hausa,
Alhaji Yussuf Seriki; the community's chairman, Muktari Abdulai;
chairman of Ohana'eze Ndigbo in the local government, Chief Francis
Okorie; head of the Fulani community in Ikún-Ekiti, Alhaji Umaru
Muhammed; and Séríkí Fulani in the entire local government, Alhaji
Kayode Sulaiman, thanked the Speaker for visiting them.
They made various demands bordering on the peculiar needs of their
communities and people, while describing the PDP as a good party that
was capable of putting an end to the killings going on in the country.
Oluwawole, thereafter, promised to table their demands before the next
governor, assuring that all of them would be addressed according to
their priorities.
The leaders of the non-indigene communities disclosed that the
performance of the Ayodele Fayose-led government in the state has
given them the assurance that they would have a good deal under his
deputy, Prof. Olusola.
