appeal court siting in #Kwara removed Olusegun Oni and declared him(Fayemi) the winner of the
previously contested election. Fayemi has the power of incumbency to ride on as one of his tools
for winning the Ekiti elections. So far, Fayemi who has an 8-point agenda has been endorsed by the
Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and an aggrieved faction of the Peoples’
Democratic Party, PDP. Fayemi may just win the Ekiti polls as even traditional rulers in the land are
staunchly behind him.
