Bamidele: I’d use only local contractors

 

The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Ekiti State, Opeyemi Bamidele, has promised to give priority to those he called ‘local contractors’ over ‘foreigners’.

According to him, efforts to fight poverty must incorporate award of contracts to artisans and contractors.

Bamidele spoke in Igede-Ekiti, headquarters of Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state, noting that the welfare of the people in all ways would be his concern if elected governor.

Bamidele maintained that the state is blessed with many competent professionals who would make it proud through execution of quality projects in construction and other areas.

He promised to pay pensioners benefits due to them regularly and without allowing arrears, pledging “to tackle the problems of youth unemployment in the state”

The governorship candidate promised to make teaching attractive, adding that civil servants would equally “be given their dues in all ramifications.”
