ADC leaders push for electoral victory

Addressing supporters, David Mark called for massive votes for the party’s candidate, insisting that ADC remained best positioned to address the challenges facing the state.

“Vote for our candidate, Bejide, so that the Ekiti of your dream can be built. Give your votes to ADC,” Mark said.

He also maintained that only the ADC could “salvage Ekiti from the claws of poverty.”

Aregbesola confident of victory

Aregbesola expressed confidence that the ADC would perform strongly at the polls, arguing that the APC had failed across all levels of government.

“We will meet at the poll. The APC has failed at the three tiers of government. APC may want to underestimate the opposition because of appearances, but such assumptions will prove costly,” he said.

He added that electoral success would depend on a free and fair process, insisting that the ADC stood a strong chance if votes were properly counted.

“We will win if the process is free and fair,” he stated.
