Ekiti 2018: APC is missing it


Olufemi Alonge Alonso

In football parlance,  a shot can ricochet off the goal post. At the moment, let me say some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have started playing off target shots with the belief that the former Minister of Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro will furnish them with the information that will put an end to the political influence or annihilate the solid structure of Gov. Peter Ayodele Fayose.

The belief of the average APC   faithful in the state  is that once Fayose is prevented from using his popularity and general acceptability amongst Ekiti electorates to install his deputy, Prof.  Kolapo Olusola-Eleka who is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in July 14 election that all will be over for him.

They thought Obanikoro played a key role in the election that ushered- in Fayose as a governor in 2014.

At this juncture, permit me to say that only a fool will say that Fayose rigged 2014 election because the election was so credible to the extent that Dr. Kayode Fayemi who was defeated in all the sixteen local government accepted defeat and congratulated the winner before he was advised by 'bad belle', greedy and uncivilized politicians within his party to withdraw his congratulatory message.

They forgot to remember the bitter complaints of the civil servants,  teachers, students, local government workers about the evil government of Dr. Kayode Fayemi a year before the election.

Let me say that our brothers in APC should stop boasting that 2018 Ekiti election will be rigged in favour of their party.

Every right thinking member of the APC knows it will be hazardous for a state who enjoys relative peace since 2014 to be hijacked by the people who commissioned uncompleted projects in the state.

Ekiti people cannot continue to be deceived by the fake  Obama's friend who plunged the state into debt. The earlier Fayemi and his cohorts accept the fact that power of the people is greater than those in power, the better for them.

With or Without Defection, You Have Won - Fayose Tells Oyebanji in Ikere

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Tuesday stirred the political atmosphere in Ikere Ekiti as he openly declared that Governor Biodun Oyebanji has already secured victory in the coming elections, with or without fresh defections into the ruling party. Fayose spoke at the defection event of Engr. Henrich Akomolafe in Ikere Ekiti, where political leaders and stakeholders gathered in a show of unity. Addressing the Governor directly, Fayose said: “Your Excellency, anybody who wants to join this party to genuinely support you is welcome. I will personally encourage them especially those who will not give you a hard time. He, however, made it clear that the Governor’s political strength does not depend on defections. “Without people decamping, the Governor has won his election. Without people decamping, the President also has won his presidential election. We are only respecting ourselves.” Fayose stressed that the overriding interest of political actors in the s...

President Tinubu Affirms Oyebanji’s Second-Term Ticket in Birthday Message, Silences Speculations

December 21, 2025  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has put to rest lingering beerpalour speculations around the Ekiti State governorship ticket as he openly affirmed that Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination for a second term. The affirmation came on Saturday in a birthday message issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, as Governor Oyebanji marked his 58th birthday. In the congratulatory message, President Tinubu not only celebrated Oyebanji’s personal milestone but also clearly stated that the Ekiti governor “has already secured the All Progressives Congress’ nomination to contest for a second term in office in 2026.” The presidential acknowledgment effectively douses the wave of rumours and political conjectures, making the rounds by followers of a disqualified aspirant over the APC ticket in Ekiti State. President Tinubu, in the message, reflected on Governor Oyebanji’s lo...
