Ayodele Fayose, former governor
of Ekiti state, says by the grace of God, presidency and Ekiti will also slip
off the hands of the All Progressives Party (APC).
Fayose said this in reaction to
the victory of Ademola Adeleke at the tribunal.
Adeleke, candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2018 governorship election in Osun state, was
declared winner of election by the tribunal on Friday.
At its sitting in Abuja, the
tribunal held that the rerun election conducted in the state after the initial
poll was illegal.
The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) had announced Gboyega Oyetola of the APC as winner of
the September election.
But the PDP and Adeleke filed a
petition at the tribunal, challenging Oyetola’s victory.
Writing via his Twitter handle,
Fayose also said the ruling party will ultimately lose the presidency.
“They took Ekiti and Osun States
by any which way just to avoid the bandwagon effect on the Presidential
election,” he tweeted.
“Now Osun has slipped off their
hands. By the power of God, Ekiti too will slip and they will ultimately lose
the Presidency.”
Kolapo Olusola, candidate of the
PDP, had lost the governorship election in Ekiti to Kayode Fayemi, the
incumbent governor.
Subsequently, Olusola and the PDP
filed a petition at the tribunal to challenge the result of the election.
They alleged that the election
was manipulated using federal might. Having lost at the tribunal, Fayose and
his party headed to the appeal court.
