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.

Fayose spoke at the defection event of Engr. Henrich Akomolafe in Ikere Ekiti, where political leaders and stakeholders gathered in a show of unity.
