Ekiti
The former Lagos State commissioner
made the vow on Thursday while
campaigning at Igede-Ekiti in
Irepodun/ Ifelodun Local Government
Area.
Bamidele, a member of the House of
Representatives, said he would rather
open a special account for his salaries
and emoluments to cater for the
vulnerable persons in the society.
He said that his salaries and allowances
at the National Assembly were being
utilised to give succour to the needy and
vulnerable in the society.
“I have been blessed by God in all my
areas of endeavours.
“The best way to appreciate God is to give
back to the people,’’ he said.
While commending the current
administration in the state for doing its
best, Bamidele stated that he is in the
race to do better things for the people
of Ekiti.
He also pledged not to seek a second
term if he wins the election, saying
‘four years is enough for anyone to
implement his programmes’.
