Speaking when he distributed various materials worth N6 million at Oye Ekiti to the people in his constituency, Dada said he couldn�t have become a lawmaker if he was rejected at the poll. He said he was aware of the needs of the people at the grassroots and the need for him to contribute to the improvement of their living standards. Dada said that he would continue to remember them for good but called on them to be more united and vote massively for his party, the Alliance for Democracy (AD), come 2007 so that the party would have more representatives in the state. The state chairman of the party, Mr. George Akosile, represented by the secretary, Chief Biodun Akin-Fasae, praised the legislator for his good gesture and pleaded with the electorate to forget the 2003 general elections which has been acclaimed as massively rigged by the ruling People�s Democratic Party (PDP).  ï¿½We were robbed during that election but we must rise up for the challenges ahead so that we can regain the lost glory of our party in the state,� he said. The party�s chairman in Ikole-Ekiti Local Government area, Mr. Alaba Abejide, condemned the education summit of the state government for reintroducing school fees, stressing that many people have withdrawn their children from schools because they could not pay the fees. He praised Dada for the good gesture and assured him that the party in the area would vote for him in 2007 so that he would return for the second term in the House of Representatives.       Copyright� 2004.
