SDP Candidate Peter Obafemi Advocates for Issue-Based Campaigns

Peter Obafemi, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate for the Ekiti State governorship election scheduled for June 20, calls for issue-based campaigns focusing on policies that directly affect residents' lives. He engages with various community members, including farmers, traders, civil servants, and students, to discuss pressing challenges such as unemployment, poverty, food insecurity, and healthcare deficits.

Obafemi highlights the state's potential in agriculture and the need for investment in modern agricultural practices, credit access for farmers, and improved market access to strengthen the agricultural value chain. He stresses the importance of reducing dependence on federal allocations by expanding the local economy and revenue base.

Additionally, he calls for renewed investments in healthcare, particularly in rural areas, and emphasizes the need for improved educational infrastructure to reduce school dropout rates. Obafemi urges political actors to elevate the quality of public debate ahead of the elections, believing that citizen engagement is crucial for effective governance.
