The current Minister of Mines and Steel Development said he was persuaded to join the race because of noticeable pangs of poverty, frustrations and misery of Ekiti people.

A former governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has formally declared, through media channel for the July 14 governorship race in the state.

He made his ambition known at a news conference after hosting leaders and scores of members of the All Progressives Congress from all the 16 Local Government Areas and the 177 wards of the state at his Isan-Ekiti country home in the Oye Local Government Area of the state.

He became the 35th aspirant to formally indicate interest in the governorship poll on the platform of the APC, though not through party Secretariat as other did.

Fayemi promised to dislodge the Governor Ayodele Fayose-led Peoples Democratic Party based on his track record and “improved welfare” he provided for workers, retirees and pensioners while in office in the state.

He warned Fayose not to attempt to remove or destroy his campaign posters and billboards the way his government was doing to some opposition posters, saying doing so would be resisted by all means possible.

The ex-governor said he would formally submit his letter of intent to the state secretariat of the APC after the Independent National Electoral Commission lifted the ban on campaigns on April 15.
