Ekiti Voters Urge Better Welfare in Gubernatorial Elections

During the gubernatorial elections in Ekiti State, an 80-year-old man, Pa Ojo Sundai, and a 20-year-old physically challenged hairdresser, Adetola David, made heartfelt appeals for better living conditions. They urged whoever emerges victorious to prioritize the welfare of vulnerable citizens, particularly the elderly and those with disabilities, as they face worsening economic hardships.

Pa Ojo, who voted at Poll Unit Ibariba Hall Unit 001 in Ilapetu Ijao, expressed concerns over the rising cost of living and inadequate social support for elderly citizens. He called for policies that would ease the suffering of ordinary citizens.

Similarly, Adetola David, who operates a small hairdressing business despite her physical challenges, highlighted the discrimination and lack of opportunities faced by people with disabilities. She urged the next governor to create job opportunities and support programs for small businesses.

The sentiments echoed a broader hope among voters for a government committed to inclusive development and improved welfare policies. Governor Biodun Oyebanji sought re-election for a second term.
