David Mark, Aregbesola rally Ekiti voters behind ADC’s Dare Bejide ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.

The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, and the party’s National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola, on Thursday led the party’s leadership to Ado-Ekiti for the grand finale of campaigns ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Ekiti State.

The ADC leaders urged the people of Ekiti State to take back their state from what they described as forces that have held it hostage since its creation in 1996.
At the rally, the party presented its governorship candidate, Ambassador Dare Bejide, to supporters as the candidate capable of delivering what it described as the government of the people’s dreams.
Speaking during the campaign rally in Ado-Ekiti, Aregbesola expressed concern over the socio-economic and political challenges facing the country, accusing the ruling APC of holding Nigeria hostage.
“Your country has been abducted,” Aregbesola said, alleging that Nigerians were paying not only ransoms to bandits and terrorists but also the cost of poor governance under the APC administration.
He further claimed that the nation’s resources were being deployed in ways that do not benefit ordinary citizens.
Aregbesola called on Nigerians to reject the ruling party at all levels of elections, stressing that citizens must take responsibility for changing the country’s direction.
Addressing party supporters, Senator Mark stated that the people of Ekiti deserved a governor who would represent their aspirations and provide quality leadership.
“After so many years, the people of Ekiti deserve the governor of their dreams. Come out en masse and vote for your candidate. I believe that by your votes, we shall return here for the inauguration of the new government that will be elected,” he said.
The ADC governorship candidate, Ambassador Dare Bejide, is seeking to unseat the incumbent administration in Saturday’s governorship election.
