Chairman of the Southern Senators Forum, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, has declared his intention to vie for the position of governor in the coming election in Ekiti State.
He made this known in a letter he wrote to All Progressives Congress (APC) senators to inform them of his ambition.
In the letter dated December 5, Bamidele said he has all it takes to lead the state, having served in the legislature, executive and judicial arms of the government.
Bamidele, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, urged his colleagues to support him, as he vowed to move Ekiti forward as a Governor.
Bamidele said, “I have got what it takes to lead Ekiti state in such a peculiar time, like this, following my over 35 years in various leadership positions and brilliant exposure in the three arms of government (Operating within the judicial arm) , a three term cabinet member of Lagos State government (operating in the Executive arm) , and as elected Hon. Member of the House of Representatives and distinguished Senator (operating in the legislative Arm ) of government.
“By God’s grace, I will be a round peg in a round hole if given an opportunity to serve as governor and Ekiti people will be better for it.”
