The candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the July 14, 2018, gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, Mr. Akinloye Ayegbusi, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of hate campaigns, adding that such development is overheating the policy ahead of the poll.
The SDP candidate noted that the two parties have engaged each others in war of hatred raising false accusations and counter accusations rather than engage the electorates on issue based campaigns.
He cautioned the APC and the PDP to stop dragging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) into their messy ‘war’ and face their campaigns based on issues.
Ayegbusi stated this at the ward-to-ward campaign of the Social Democratic Party in communities in Ekiti East Local Government Area.
He said that the mandate he was seeking was not for self, saying that God has blessed him already.
He said that he threw his hat into the political ring to help to liberate the people from poverty and untold hardship occasioned by the misrule of the APC and the PDP administrations of the past in the state.
Some of the communities Ayegbusi visted included Omuo, Isinbode and Ilasa where Ayegbusi canvassed for votes.
The first port of call was Isinbode where the SDP candidate paid homage to the monarch, the Onisin, Oba Emmanuel Adeyemi.
