The APC Campaign Committee for Ekiti South also has House of Representatives members, Hon. Femi Bamisile and Hon. Yemi Adaramodu, members of the House of Assembly, local government chairmen and other party chieftains as from the zone as members.
Rt. Hon. Adelugba also charged voters to vote for all APC candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives to allow for synergy between the executive and legislative arms under the Tinubu Presidency and for Ekiti to get the best in the next dispensation.
The Speaker described Tinubu as the “most qualified, the most experienced, the most cosmopolitan and the most detribalized” among all the presidential flag bearers on parade to preside over a complex country like Nigeria noting that his performance as Lagos State Governor has become a benchmark for good governance in the country.
According to her, Tinubu has the capacity to assemble the best team to help translate his dream for Nigeria to reality like he did during his tenure as Governor when he enlisted the best brains some of whom were not indigenes of Lagos State, to lay the foundation of the success story of “Nigeria’s most developed state.”
She explained that Ekiti has a lot to benefit under the Tinubu Presidency noting that the APC presidential flag bearer had, during his campaign to the state, promised to develop the state’s agricultural, tourism and mineral potentials to create jobs for the youths.
Rt. Hon. Adelugba noted that with the state already having an APC governor who is living up to expectation, the voters should re-enact their love for the party by voting in its presidential flag bearer and National Assembly candidates for good governance to continue.
She said: “I want to urge eligible voters in Ekiti to come out en masse and vote for the presidential candidate of our party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Saturday, February 25 in the presidential election. I also urge you to vote for Senate and House of Representatives candidates.
“Vote for our party from the President to National Assembly, vote APC all the way. This very important so that dividends of democracy can come to our state, Ekiti should not be left behind in the prosperity that is coming to Nigeria under Asiwaju Tinubu.
“By the time our party wins the Presidency and National Assembly election next Saturday, it will be easy for us to win the House of Assembly election on March 11. APC is the right party to vote, see what Governor Oyebanji is doing in Ekiti, the good work must continue with an APC President.
“We already have a Governor in Ekiti who is an APC member and by the grace of God, we are going to have a President who is from APC. Ekiti should key in to this and we need to do our own bit for the dream to become a reality.”
“When Asiwaju becomes President, it will be easy for Governor Oyebanji to approach him on issues concerning Ekiti and he (Tinubu) will be ready to do them for us. It is our vote, it is your vote, and it is APC all the way.”
The Speaker charged party leaders and members to intensify house-to-house and neighbourhood campaign efforts to reach out to eligible voters which she said should be sustained till Thursday when campaign officially closes.
The campaign team was well received in the two local government areas by residents of the communities and party faithful.
