A former Nigerian Envoy to Canada, Amb. Dare Bejide, has urged the people of Ekiti State to use the period of Christmas to reflect on the kind of leadership that they desire in the 2014 governorship election.
Bejide, a Peoples Democratic Party governorship aspirant in the state, said the festive season “is a reflection of the love God has for humankind and an opportunity to take stock and effect desired changes”.
The politician, while congratulating Christians and Ekiti people on the occasion, appealed to Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of love, forgiveness and tolerance for the country to move forward.
Bejide, who spoke at Ode Ekiti on Tuesday during his ongoing tour of the 16 council areas of the state, said, “As Ekiti inches towards the election year, there is no doubt that we have to pray for peaceful election.
“At the same time, it is necessary for us to reflect on the person we want as our governor in 2014. We, definitely, have to opt for the people-centred leadership which the present administration has been unable to provide.
“It is only right leadership that can bring about the much-needed development to our dear state and the fulfilment of the dreams of the founding fathers of the state”.
The former envoy said a PDP government in 2014 would bring about positive changes to the state.
He appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission and the security agencies to ensure a hitch-free election in Ekiti State in the coming year.
