The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial candidate for Ekiti North, Dr Olusegun Ayodele Osinkolu, has called on residents of the district to support his ambition to represent them in the National Assembly, promising people-oriented representation and a new direction for the senatorial district.

Osinkolu, in a September message to the people of Ekiti North, urged residents to remain prayerful and mobilise support for the PDP ahead of the election.

The PDP candidate said the people of the district had demonstrated a strong desire for change, adding that their challenges and struggles had strengthened his determination to seek a mandate to represent them effectively.

He pledged to pursue a five-point agenda centred on security of lives and property, rural infrastructure and roads, youth empowerment and job creation, quality education and healthcare, as well as economic development for farmers and traders.

Osinkolu said the agenda would be implemented across the five Local Government Areas that make up Ekiti North Senatorial District.

He expressed concern over the challenges confronting farmers, market women, youths and elderly residents, promising to make their interests a priority if elected.

According to him, Ekiti North had been “shortchanged” for too long and needed a stronger voice at the National Assembly to attract development and adequately represent the interests of the people.

The PDP candidate called on residents to participate actively in the political process by canvassing, mobilising and voting for the party during the election.

He also appealed to the people of the district for their prayers and support, expressing optimism that the new month would mark the beginning of a new chapter for Ekiti North.
