APC, PDP, SDP in titanic battle for Ekiti Government House

ll is now set, as 988,923 voters are ready to determine who will succeed Dr Kayode Fayemi as the next governor.

Interestingly, these six candidates have also engaged in debates organised by groups selling their candidature and unveiling their programmes. These candidates have not made the job of voters easy, as they all have a good account of themselves. Watchers of events in the state’s politics also point to factors such as godfatherism, financial war chest, perceptions about the achievements of the incumbent governor, acceptability and antecedents of the candidates and their manifesto, party’s strengths, structure and support by critical segments of the population.

It is also believed that voters’ inducement will play a role in determining, who occupies Oke-Ayoba Government House, as was witnessed during the governorship polls in Edo, Ondo and Anambra states, where elections were allegedly monetised. The poverty level in the country has made it difficult for the electorate to resist the temptation of financial inducement if offered in exchange for votes.

The Efon Alaaye-born politician has undoubtedly performed well. He is not a pushover in the politics of Ekiti. A no-nonsense politician, though without a war chest, he is said to be bankrolled by his godfather, Fayose, whose street appeal is a plus for his campaign.But the political tsunami that hit the party after the primary that made him the flag bearer is still strong as the party was polarised. Oni and some aggrieved leaders of PDP left the party to populate the SDP.

SDP suppose to win if it is free and fair

Where’s the labor party candidate?
