From Okwe Obi, Abuja
Ahead of the June 18 Ekiti State governorship election, candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Erelu Kemi Elebute– Halle, has pledged to prioritise the empowerment of women and youths, if elected.
Elebute-Halle told newsmen yesterday in Abuja, that she was ready to slug it out with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“One of agenda is the inclusion of women in politics, inclusion of youths in politics. It has never happened before. I will not give you all the quotes; when we get to the river, we will cross it.
“I am ready to develop Ekiti. We are not going to give out our plans now because we are in a contest. We do not want people to steal our ideas. When it is time we will bring out our plans,” she said.
Asked if she was not afraid of the likes of Governor Kayode Fayemi and former governor Ayodele Fayose, she said, “why should I be afraid of human beings?
“They are human beings like me. They are my brothers and uncles. I have sat with them, had meetings with them, eaten with them. I am consulting them.”
Speaking on the financial wherewithal, she said, “money is paper. The moment you understand that currency is paper you will know that people will key in when you get in.
“Why people have not been able to achieve greatness in life is that they put the fear before them; they do not go all out to face their fear.
“I am here to face all the fears, including financial fears. We will conquer it. I have the greatest chance to win.”
