Ekiti 2018 Popularity Test: Bola Agboola Floors Ex-Governor, Fayemi

The immediate past governor of Ekiti State, and current Federal Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr John Kayode Fayemi was ridiculously trounced by Bola Agboola, one of the social media aides of Governor Ayedele Fayose in an opinion poll conducted yesterday on the Facebook timeline of Debola Akingbade, another New Media aide of the Ekiti state governor.

The 'Popularity Test' which pitched the former governor against the young and vibrant social media giant which was conducted and moderated by Debola Akingbade saw all the respondents except one cast their votes for Bola Agboola.

The near unanimous but overwhelming votes against the Solid Mineral minister wasn't as ridiculous, disgraceful, and painful as humorous comments passed against the ex-governor on the thread!

The Special Assistant to Ekiti State governor on New Media and Public communication, Lere Olayinka was one of the early respondents, and responded thus; 'Who's Fayemi? That thief?"

Another Facebook user, Humphrey Amarachi Sophia also posted, " Who be fayemi? OK that mini-star wey thief Ekiti people Money finish? Mtchewwwww!"

Kunle Adebayo, another Facebook user commented thus, " Bola Agboola ke? You don't seem to understand what's really on ground, Bola is better by far. Even Orji the credit seller will defeat that Akotileta. Fayemi remains a bad market till 2036."

Akinola Olusola Faluyi said, "Fayemi will spend the money while Bola will garner the votes."

A female Facebook user, Komolafe Oladunnioke opined; " God knows d best but for Fayemi, God for bid."

Adara Samuel said, " Bola Agboola is street wise than Fayemi who lied to be Obama's friend."

Idowu Ayomide Tosin believed and opined that, In terms of popularity Fayemi wins it, but talk of integrity then, Bola Agboola is far better!

Aare Toyin Oso also commented, "I will support Bola than Arun'gun Omo"

The votes and responses are still trickling in as at the time of filing this report.

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area. Mrs. Omolayo, who was warmly received with an Ọ̀wọ̀ song by jubilant party members, expressed appreciation to her ward for the support they gave her when she initially declared her intention to contest for governor.

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
