Ekiti stands still as Mimiko, Iwuanyanwu storm Bamidele mega rally


Commercial activities were temporarily paralysed in Ado – Ekiti yesterday, as people thronged the state capital to welcome Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, National Chairman of Labour Party (LP), Dan Iwuanyanwu, and other dignitaries to join the party’s standard bearer, Hon Michael Opeyemi Bamidele ( MOB), in his mega rally.     

They visited the Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe who prayed for him in his palace and charged him to be focused on what he is doing.     Thereafter, the chieftains went to the mega-rally ground where Bamidele told the mammoth crowd that had waited for him since morning that he was passionate about Ekiti development, saying that was the reason for running for the governorship election.

The LP candidate said if elected he would govern Ekiti State with the fear of God and not put the state into debt.

Mimiko, in his speech urged the people to vote for Bamidele because he is a man that can be trusted, adding, he is a well experienced as a lawyer, lawmaker and someone who was in the executive arm of government in Lagos State for over a decade.
