No fewer than 36 chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State are in the race for the party’s ticket for the 2018 governorship election, New Telegraph gathered.
Some of the aspirants have not officially declared their interest, but New telegraph gathered that a majority of them are intensifying their efforts in wooing party leaders both in the state and the centre to clinch the APC ticket and possibly succeed the incumbent, Ayodele Fayose, whose second term as governor elapses in October next year.
Among those jostling for the APC ticket include:
1. Minister of Solid Minerals and Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi;
2. APC Deputy National Chairman (South), Engr. Segun Oni;
3. Femi Ojudu - (Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters)
4. Gbenga Aluko
5. former Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Olufemi Bamisile.
Others are former House of Representatives members, Bimbo Daramola, Opeyemi Bamidele and Bamidele Faparusi; former Chairman of Ekiti State Hospitals Management Board, Dr. Adebayo Orire; 2007 governorship candidate of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Otunba Yinka Akerele; former Executive Secretary, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Dr. Femi Thomas; former Chief of Staff to ex-Governor Fayemi, Mr. Yemi Adaramodu; former House of Assembly Majority Leader, Hon. Funminiyi Afuye; Australia-based medical practitioner, Dr. Wole Oluyede and former House of Assembly member, Hon. Bayo Idowu.
