He knows the knitty gritty of governance in Ekiti, hence our decision to join the progressive train.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“He was the secretary of the State  creation committee at a tender age. He was Chief of Staff, and later Secretary to the state government. BAO is sound intellectualy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:He is a typical home breed, unlike some foreign politicians who are around us now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“So l made bold to say to you and to all every Ekiti indigene  with genuine love for Ekiti state, that has analytical eyes knows that BAO remains the most charismatically qualified candidate for the governoship at this time .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He explained further that having considered and weighed the options vividly, hence he declared further that “we cannot sacrifice the genuine intention of B A O on the altar of any Political aggradisment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I am promising BAO and the All Progressives Congress of an  agressive mobilisation of all my structures  and contacts  for victory in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Ekiti come June.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“As human beings  and political animals, I  remain commmited to making impact on the developmnent of my dear state. And here I am in the continuation of  the political journey to let the whole world know my next step as a golden fish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“My greatest strength has been my supporters and followers who have exhibited trust in my leadership and  to you all l say thank you”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My belief about democracy is that it is  government of the people by the people and for the people, as against autocracy in A.D.P.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“My decision to return to my base the All  Progressive Congress ( A.P.C) today is because I have critically examined the platform on which I can contribute my quota to the developmnent of my dear state, and most importantly where the interest of my numerous supporters can be protected, cum a platform that has the love of the Ekitis in mind”. He declared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recieving him to the party, Party Chieftain, Chief Biodun Akin Fasae welcomed him back to his former base and promised him level playing ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He described his defection as moral boost to the party candidate’s victory come June 18 and congratulated him for joining the winning team.
