Dare Bejide, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate for Ekiti State, emphasized the party's commitment to an issue-based campaign as they prepare for the upcoming governorship election slated for June 20. Highlighting his background as a former Nigerian High Commissioner to Canada, Bejide announced that the ADC would soon reveal its campaign and strategic committees, aiming for a well-structured approach in engaging with the electorate.

During a press conference in Ado Ekiti, Bejide expressed confidence about the party's prospects in the election, citing widespread discontent among the populace regarding the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government. He vowed to address the perceived failures of the current administration and improve the welfare of Ekiti residents, positioning the ADC as a viable alternative for the electorate.

Bejide also addressed issues of campaign integrity, condemning the reported removal and defacing of his campaign posters by supporters of the ruling party. As the ADC gears up for a campaign starting in early April, Bejide’s proactive stance sets the stage for what they hope will be a competitive election period focused on crucial local issues affecting the citizens of Ekiti State.
