Olusola: Ekiti Electorate Will Subdue APC Federal Might in 2018

The Deputy Governor of Ekiti State and the Peoples Democratic Party  anointed candidate for the 2018 governorship election, Prof Kolapo  Olusola, has boasted that the resolute nature of the Ekiti electorate  will make it difficult for the All Progressives Congress(APC) to rig
the coming poll in the State.

Olusola said the people’s will are mightier than the federal Might in any democratic setting, saying the rants that the federal government may deploy its power to rig the election in favour of APC , he  described as ‘unpopular party’ , won’t work.

The Governor Ayodele Fayose’s deputy described his candidacy as God-ordained, urging his kinsmen from Ikere Ekiti to see the governorship project as ‘Ikere agenda’ that must be supported by all the indigenes, regardless of political inclinations.

The deputy governor spoke in Ikere Ekiti on Tuesday during a rally organized by the youths to bolster his political aspiration.

The rally, which witnessed mammoth crowd started from Oke Ikere via  Uro quarters and ended at the palace of Ogoga of Ikere Ekiti, Oba  Adejimi Adu Alagbado.

Those who participated in the procession included: the Speaker, Hon. Kola Oluwawole, Commissioners for Education, Jide Eegunjobi, Budget,  Gbenga Olajide, honourable representing Ikere 1 at the State House of  Assembly, Hon. Wale Ayeni, Special Adviser on Political Matters,  Alhaji Dauda Ajise, among others.

Olusola, who addressed the crowd advised the indigenes of the second  most populous town in Ekiti to participate in the ongoing Continuous  Voter registration exercise with the Independent National Electoral  Commission(INEC) to shore up the voting strength of the town ahead of
the poll.

“It is necessary that you register because that your voter cards are your AK47 against the APC on the day of the election. It is the weapon that you will use to vote for a man of your choice, so that these people won’t come through the back door to power.

“Today’s rally shows that all the Ikere sons and daughters appreciated our governor, Chief Fayose for deeming it fit to make an Ikere person a  candidate. You must come together to support this project,ecause  this is more of Ikere agenda that knows no political bounds.

“Whether you are PDP or APC members, you must support this project and when an Ikere person becomes the governor, all of us will reap the benefit.

“We are grateful to governor Fayose and the PDP for counting one of us worthy to become the governor.

“You know that our governor is a friend of the masses. He loves the people and operates an open door policy. Let me assure you that I will  operate the same way if you elect me, because Fayose leads, we follow”, he said.

Olusola added that the December 23 , 2017 local government elections in the State would be a mere walkover for the PDP.

“The PDP will win all the 16 chairmanship and the 177 councillorship seats, I don’t expect anything less”, he stated.
