How Fayose taught APC another lesson as PDP sweeps 25 Assembly seats in Ekiti

Governor Ayo Fayose of the PDP before the election said he would give APC 26/0 but nobody took

him serious. He has given them 25/1 just giving them mercy for a slot in the state House of Assembly elections.

The Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has won 25 seats in the 26-m ember state House of Assembly.

This was contained in a statement made available to journalists in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday by the state Independent National Electoral Commission showing summary of the election results.

It indicated that the results were from 25 state constituencies while that of one constituency from one local council area was being awaited.

The spokesperson for the state INEC, Mr. Taiwo Gbadegesin, clarified that in the 16 council areas, results from only one council area; Ilejemeje, were still pending.

Gbadegesin stated that there was a crisis in Ilejemeje during the poll, adding that the results from the wards from the constituency in the council area were currently being collated.

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has said the election was not credible, adding that the exercise lacked indices of a free and fair poll.

The state Publicity Secretary of the party Mr. Taiwo Olatunbosun, said in a statement on Saturday that the elections recorded cases of alleged intimidation by policemen and thugs which it stated that the state Governor Ayodele Fayose deployed across the polling units.

It added that intimidation of opponents began on Friday with many reports of state-sponsored intimidation, which it identified as responsible for the low turn-out of voters across the state.

Efforts made to get across to the Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka, were abortive.
