My plan for Ekiti, by Aluko
Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant Senator Gbenga Aluko has unfolded his plans for the state.
He said industrialisation and infrastructural development will be the priority of his administration, if elected as the governor in the forth-coming election.
The Ode-Ekiti-born politician represented Ekiti South Senatorial District in the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly between 1999 andf 2003. He defeated Prince Dayo Adeyeye of the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
At the PDP primaries, Aluko will face no fewer than 14 aspirants, including the former governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, the former deputy governors, Chief Abiodun Aluko from Ikere-Ekiti, Mrs. Abiodun Olujimi and Mr. Bisi Omoyeni; Minister of Police Affairs Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade (rtd), Prince Adeyeye, and former House of Representatives member, Mr. Aribisala.
Aluko, who spoke in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, said that infrastructural development will enhance industrialisation and attract investors to Ekiti State.
He called for power shift to the South District, saying that the zone has been marginalised.
The politician pointed out that, since 1999, the district has not produced the governor, urging the PDP to zone the slot to the area in the spirit of equity, fairness and justice.
