The Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in the July 14 governorship election in Ekiti State, Mr Akinloye Ayegbusi has called on the Ekiti state governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose to start preparing his handover notes for a proper hand over to an SDP government to be led by him.
Ayegbusi made the call at the weekend when the national leadership of the party officially presented the party’s flag to him at a mega rally held in Ado Ekiti, the state capital.
The SDP candidate said that he is the ‘David’ that Ekiti earnestly yearn for to deliver them from oppressive governments that have been traumatising the people since 1999.
He urged the people not to be despair anymore because their time of liberation from poverty, insecurity, unemployment and disease has come.
Ayegbusi urged the youths in the state to embrace the SDP, which has produced one of them as the candidate, so that there can total generational shift of governance to the youths.
“We are often deceived by the old order that youths are leaders of tomorrow. I have been hearing that since I was born, but the same people saying this have refused to quit the corridors of power.
“Therefore, we are no longer comfortable with youth being leaders of tomorrow, our time is now and we must take it through legal and constitutional means.
“If we the youths are determined, we can do it. We can takeover government and do great wonders. We have the population of voters that can make it happen. This does not mean that we will jettisons the wise counsel of the old.
“As for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government in Ekiti led by Governor Ayodele Fayose, I am using this medium to tell him to start writing his handover note for the government of SDP which will take over from him in October this year,” he said.
He urged the people to shun money and vote for their conscience and their future prosperity, saying that a people always deserve what they get.
In his remarks at the occasion, Chief Olu Falae, who was represented by the Deputy National Chairman, Alhaji Abdul Ahmed, said that the SDP will take over from President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
“This party has come to stay. The SDP will take over power at the centre and all the 36 states. We are starting that process from Ekiti. Come July 14, our young and dynamic candidate will win the election,” he said.
He applauded Ekiti State chapter of the party for conducting a free and fair primary election, promising the state chapter of the SDP of all the support it will need to win the election.
“From the information at our disposal, we have won the election. I urged the people of Ekiti to come out and vote for SDP,” he said.
