The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party in the forthcoming Ekiti State governorship election, Peter Obafemi, has called on political parties and candidates to focus their campaigns on policies and practical solutions to the challenges facing residents of the state.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Obafemi said his engagements with residents across Ekiti revealed growing concerns over unemployment, poverty, food insecurity, infrastructure deficits, healthcare, education and security.
According to him, discussions with community leaders, farmers, traders, civil servants, students, artisans and professionals showed that many residents were more interested in solutions to economic and social challenges than political rhetoric.
“As Ekiti State prepares for the June 20, 2026, governorship election, it is important that public discourse remains focused on the issues that directly affect the lives and livelihoods of our people”, the statement partly read.
Obafemi identified youth unemployment and the migration of skilled professionals from the state
