Segun Adewale has declared his intention to contest the 2018 Ekiti governorship election on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Adewale is the factional chairman of the Lagos state chapter of PDP.

The chairman of Aeroland said his aversion of poverty motivated his decision to join the Ekiti governorship race.

“I hate poverty with a passion and by the grace of God if I am given the privilege to lead my people, together we shall defeat the hold of poverty on our people and state,” he said while speaking with journalists.

“It is an aberration that a State known as the fountain of knowledge is also among the poorest states in the country. My mission in Ekiti is to defeat poverty in the land by converting our God given knowledge to wealth.

“Our manifesto is geared towards building a strong financial capacity for the state and her citizens such that Ekiti can be a lender to other states of the federation.”

Adewale said he has informed the party’s state working committee and other stakeholders of his intention.

He added that Ekiti needs someone with integrity at the helm of its affairs.

“I have come here today with my supporters to inform our party leaders of my intention to vie for the governorship seat next year. This visit puts to rest the rumors on whether I will contest or not,” he said.

“Ekiti state needs a man of integrity, values and decorum as the governor. Under our watch, Ekiti state will experience clear developmental and infrastructure gains. Our policies shall be centered on empowering Ekiti people financially.

“Our vision is to make Ekiti State a reference point in Nigeria in the areas of Agriculture, Technology, Education, Healthcare delivery, social amenities, industrialization and to ensure financial independence from the Federal Government.”

Williams Ajayi, Ekiti state PDP chairman, said while no aspirant had been endorsed by the secretariat, Adewale was the first to officially express his interest in contesting the next governorship election.

Adewale was the candidate of the PDP for the Lagos west senatorial election in 2015.

After woefully losing three times to Yayi in Lagos, Aeroland finally heads home to Ekiti. Like they say, home na better. I wish him well.

But what's all the talk about going to eradicate poverty in Ekiti? With PDP and Fayose's groundbreaking stomach infrastructure projects in the state, are the people still poor?

The way Fayose will so run this guy out of the state ehn, he will soon realise that Lagos politics na gentleman politics. Ekiti politics na craze people politics. He will just end up wasting his money on another futile political ambition.

Pick the ticket and let the people decide...Ekiti state is underdevelop and our governor has been the governor of the media, leading us through the media...i hope those coming will learn from his flaws.

Power comes from God, perhaps God has been preparing him for Ekiti job all along and allowing the Yayi injustice to prevail.

Lmaoooo. The guy spent a lot of money in the last election and still lost miserably to Yayi. Imagine this one that thought he could represent me in the senate.

He should go to his friends in Ekiti and if they accept him, that's their wahala.

But then it is Aeroland. He will fit into Ekiti politics, he can stay out of Lagos cos the entire Alimosho has told him NO!

What Yayi injustice?

Yeah bro...Fayose dey fall hand big time.Although, what do you expect from a governor that talks too much?

Penaldo:

Yayi injustice you say? Wait till you see Fayose injustice, that is when you will realise that Tinubu is a real gentleman. The way Fayose will so deal with your Aeroland, he will wish he never stepped into Ekiti.
