The Social Democratic Party’s governorship candidate in Ekiti State, Mr. Akin Ayegbusi, has said he would succeed Governor Ayodele Fayose at the poll.
Ayegbusi, who spoke in Abuja, said projections from his interactions with the grassroots show that he has a better chance of winning, in spite of the popularity of the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prof. Kolapo Eleka, and the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
The 44-year-old banker explained that his forays into politics was informed by the contradictions in the management of the state’s human resource capital especially the youths who have been rendered idle by government’s unsustainable policies.
He said, if elected, he would add vigour to governance and engage the youth and other citisens meaningfully in vocations that would develop the state in agriculture and industrial development, health, tourism, welfare and poverty alleviation.
