the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Governor-Elect of
Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi for emerging victorious at the keenly contested
governorship election held on Saturday July, 14th, 2018.

Commission (INEC), defeating his closest rival, Prof. Kolapo Olusola-Eleka of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with 197,459 to 178,121 votes.
Governor
Ambode in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Habib Aruna
commended President Muhammadu Buhari, leadership and members of APC and its
supporters for the hard-fought victory adding that it was a testament to the
fact that the electoral value of the party has not waned.
The
Governor specially praised and congratulated Fayemi for his hard fought victory
and wished him well as he prepares to take the mantle of leadership of the
State for a second time.
He
also urged the Ekiti Governor-Elect to use his second coming to build on its
previous achievements and forge ahead with the quest to unite the Yoruba
nation, especially through regional integration and economic transformation of
the South-West geo-political zone and justify the confidence the Ekiti
electorate have reposed on him.
Governor
Ambode also congratulated the Ekiti electorate for comporting themselves
peacefully throughout the period of the election, while urging those aggrieved
with the result to channel their grievances to the appropriate quarters rather
than resort to self help. |
