Ekiti a failed state, only me can fix it - Segun Adewale (Aeroland)



A governorship aspirant in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Mr Segun Adewale, has insinuated that Ekiti was a failed state that can only be fixed by him.

Adewale, otherwise known as Aeroland further insinuated through one of his campaign managers, Mr Tosin Jegede that all those who governed Ekiti State since it was created failed.

Tosin Jegede’s statement, which he widely circulated on social media on Sunday evening read; “Successful indigene of a failed State are never respected, let #RethinkEkiti and fix our tomorrow, today."

Otunba Segun Adewale was not known in Ekiti State until few months ago that he came from Alimosho area of Lagos where he had contested elections unsuccessfully into House of Representatives and Senate.

Even when he was corrected by participants on a Whatsapp platform, he went further to justify his derogatory comment on behalf of Adewale that Ekiti was indeed in a state of failure.

However, irked by the blanket description of Ekiti as a failed State, one Olumide Adelugba said; “when people are busy magnifying and promoting their States, you are busy labeling your State with an inglorious name. Does that mean you and your paymaster (Aeroland) are products of a failed State?”

Another Ekiti indigene, Tanimola Kolade said he was just surprised that an indigene would call his state a failed state because he wants to please his principal. We will send him and his Oga back to Alimosho in Lagos.

In his reaction, Special Assistant to the governor of Ekiti State on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka said anyone saying Ekiti was a failed state needed medical attention because “In the entire Southwest, Ekiti has the best road network and the state is even rivaling a state like Ondo in the area of infrastructural development.”

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. She explained that her decision to step down for Governor Oyebanji was informed by his wide acceptability across the state, sterling performances in office, and commitment to Ekiti’s growth and development, which she described as derivatives of continuity. While addressing the crowd, Mrs. Omolayo urged party members in Eporo Ward...

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...
