The Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has thrown her weight behind the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Ekiti State, Oluwole Oluyede, describing him as a competent and people-oriented leader capable of driving development and inclusive governance in the state.
Akpoti-Uduaghan made the endorsement during the grand finale of the PDP governorship campaign in Ado-Ekiti ahead of the June 20 governorship election.
According to a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by her media aide, Mike Idoko, the senator spent several days touring communities across the state to mobilise support for the PDP candidate.
Addressing party supporters and members of the Ebira community at the campaign event, the lawmaker said Oluyede possessed the experience, vision and commitment needed to tackle the challenges confronting the state and improve the welfare of residents.
She said, “Dr. Oluwole Oluyede is a leader who understands the needs of the people. He is not disconnected from the grassroots. He has listened to the cries of market women, youths, civil servants and community leaders across the state.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan noted that the PDP candidate had consistently demonstrated concern for ordinary citizens and had the leadership qualities required to provide purposeful governance.
The senator further described Oluyede as a bridge-builder capable of uniting people across ethnic, religious and social divides while ensuring equitable opportunities for all residents.
