The Director-General of Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation, Honourable Bimbo Daramola, has said God is central and pivotal to the re-election campaign of the governor.
Speaking at a prayer session he midwifed in Ado-Ekiti to commit the campaign team and the re-election bid of Governor Kayode Fayemi into God's hands, Daramola stressed the importance of letting God be the captain of the ship.
"I believe so much in God and in prayer, as do every member of this campaign team. What we are doing today is to commit our ways and every of our activity into God's hands. We are also thanking God for bringing us thus far, because we know where we are coming from. We know where we are now. It is important to thank the Lord who rid Ekiti of locusts," the Director-General said.
He later met with newsmen in company of other members of the campaign team; Mr. Biodun Omoleye, Deputy Director-General, Mr. Sanmi Omiata, In-House Communications Director, Mrs. Bunmi Adelugba, Director of Finance and Administration, and Mr. Dimeji Daniels, the Campaign Spokesperson.
Daramola said although he had always enjoyed a cordial relationship with the newsmen, a fresh chapter which is solely about the success of Dr. Kayode Fayemi at the June poll was being opened.
He assured the newsmen that the campaign would be issue-based.
"We are saying we know where we were and where we are now. Let every aspirant or candidate lay their programme before the people and tell Ekiti people what they want to do differently," he said.
Lending his voice, the Deputy Director-General, Mr. Biodun Omoleye, thanked the newsmen for their support so far and their anticipated support in days to come.
After the press briefing, the campaign team met with the state executive of the All Progressives Congress at the party' secretariat at Ajilosun in Ado-Ekiti to solicit their support.
The Director-General explained to members of the party executive that the objective of the visit was to solicit their cooperation and to tell them that the committee was in no way an alternative to the party.
"We are not under any illusion that we are the most important. We cannot do this successfully without the knowledge and wisdom of the leaders and members of our great party. Our goal is one, and that is to ensure that Ekiti progresses and consolidates on the development that we currently enjoy," said Daramola.
Responding on behalf of the APC chairman who was on an assignment, Chief Dele Falusi, APC Interim Organising Secretary in Ekiti State, said he was happy that all the members of the team are competent.
He assured them of the party's support and cooperation every step of the way, adding that the party would work hand in hand with the campaign team to achieve success in the forthcoming governorship election.
Speaking further, Chief Falusi said the goal of the party and the campaign team is one: "We are for the same purpose. This June 21 determines our political future. We want to break the jinx of second term. In this task, there is no superiority. It is a collective mission."
He added that all political appointees must return to their domains to mobilize and galvanize the people to vote en masse.
"It is true that Dr. Fayemi has performed creditably, but we must work to ward off those who don't mean well for Ekiti. Most of the people who say they want to be governor don't have any programme. All they keep saying is 'I want to be governor'. We have to be on our toes to ensure that Ekiti does not go back to the days of locusts," Chief Falusi stressed.
