Ambassador Dare Bejide, who hails from Ilawe-Ekiti, is a former Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State. The former High Commissioner to Canada (between 1999 and 2002), Secretary to the Government (between 2007 and 2010) and governorship aspirant tells ODUNAYO OGUNMOLA in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, why he wants to succeed Governor Ayodele Fayose in the Fountain of Knowledge.
Why do you want to the governor of Ekiti State?
I am qualified to be governor of Ekiti State based on number one, you are aware of this agitation on Ekiti South agenda. We have had two governors from Ekiti Central, two from Ekiti North and since the creation of the state, we from Ekiti South have not been given the opportunity to serve as the chief executive of the state. Since that agitation has been on, people are beginning to say fairness is fairness and I am from the South, I am qualified. Apart from the issue of zoning, within the PDP, I am the most senior in the party in terms of membership.
