Fayose on the verge of setting another gargantuan record in Ekiti State



Olufemi Alonge Alonso

One can only set a record if he is the first or the only person to achieve a certain feat, also before a record could be said to be broken, another person must have surpassed the achievements of the former. The lovers of football or supporters of Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo will understand my gist here.

In the case of Gov. Peter Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, records are just being set and in a couple of days he might set another landmark record by being the first governor in the history of the state to endorse, work and use his structure to install his deputy governor as governor.

It is no more news that Fayose is the first person to defeat two incumbent governors in different elections.

It won't be out of place to reemphasize that the first and only flyover bridge in Ekiti which will be commissioned tomorrow is Fayose's initiative.

We need no one to tell us that the only computer village in the state (Fayose Market) was constructed by the gallant man.

The only state hotel (Fountain Hotel) in Ekiti was built by the Afao man.

Fayose was the only governor in Ekiti who was "impeached" and came back to contest election after eight years to  defeat incumbent governor.

Fayose was behind the dualization of roads in the state.

It is only in  Fayose's tenure that Ekiti came first consecutively in the National Examination Council (NECO).

The first deputy governor of the state who lost her life while serving, Mrs. Adunni Olayinka of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was immortalized by Gov. Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by naming  office of the First Lady after the deceased.

As a result of his boldness and courage, Fayose is the first and only Ekiti son ever to have played the role of opposition leader in the country.

If the deputy governor and PDP candidate for July 14  election, Prof. Kolapo Olusola-Eleka who is celebrating his 50th birthday today  wins the election, it will be Fayose's greatest achievement as all the good works he started in the state will be improved upon, sustained and maintained in the best interest of our state. God bless our dear Ekiti

APC Governorship Aspirant, Atinuke Omolayo, Participates in Delegate Congress in Emure

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...
