A member of the House of Representatives and governorship aspirant in Ekiti State under the platform of Labour Party (LP), Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele, on Thursday declared that his political structure was strong and popular enough to defeat the incumbent governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2014 guber poll.
Bamidele, who represents Ado/Irepodun/Ifelodun Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, said the Labour Party was a veritable platform that would further reinforce his hope of emerging victorious at next year’s governorship election in the state.
Bamidele spoke in Ado Ekiti, the state capital during the grand finale tour of the 16 local government council areas in furtherance of his governorship ambition.
“I have a strong political structure and goodwill to dislodge the incumbent, Governor Kayode Fayemi in any election. LP has further enhanced my popularity among the people”, he said.
He advised the ruling party in the state to refrain from harassing his supporters, saying, “No amount of threat will make me back down on the governorship race. The tentacles of LP have spread across the state.
“This is a mission that we must actualize and a race that I must pursue to the end. Ekiti needs serious intervention at this critical time”, Bamidele maintained.
Opeyemi should not worry himself ! Bcos he knows dat ekiti pple still like fayemi ! He should have wait 4 his time , but if he think it’s right time 4 him to contest well, the choice is his own .
Never predict Ekiti State election cos Fayemi got in there by Court injunction.
Going by d situation in Ekiti for now, it is certain that LP will have a landslide victory come 2014. Fayemi and his cohorts should be warned as any attempt to unleash terror and political thuggery on the people of Ekiti will be met with vehement opposition
