Former Speaker Ekiti State House of Assembly, Honourable Femi Bamisile, yesterday picked the All Progressives Congress (APC) Declaration of Interest and Nomination Form to contest for the state’s governorship election.
The former Speaker, who said that he was on a restoration mission, promised that he would give Ekiti people the desired dividend of democracy that has eluded them since Governor Ayo Fayose took over the mantle of leadership.
“As we all know, Ekiti has been considered a turbulent state in the past three to four years now because we have the person of the serving governor taking over the helm of affairs. But, we are looking at the development in the state and the people of the state and we are ready to take over the affairs in 2018.
“I am sure that considering what we have put in into the party, the sensitization we have done in the minds of the electorates and others which will basically start during the primary election, I am certain that we have done well to show that we are going to get this ticket.
“Most importantly, we are going to kick out the monster which everybody within the state believed come from Ekiti state. Let me not bore you with our point agenda but for emphasis, I want to highlight the ones that are of important the people of Ekiti.
“The two most important ones are security within the state and most importantly empowerment of our youths. We will deal with all these mess through agriculture. Ekiti is an agrarian state and can easily queue behind the agriculture programme of Mr President to be able to use that to develop our state.
Further, he assured that he would make the development of the Igbimo local rice and the empowerment of the youths as his priority.
