The All Progressives Congress, APC, is billed to dominate the House of Assembly election slated for March 18, 2023, in Ekiti State due to the impressive
In the last five months, the Governor has proven the sceptics wrong, by undertaking some landmark achievements in the civil service.
The only time two parties had equal numbers of lawmakers codenamed ’13-13′, was in 2007 under the administration of Engr Segun Oni. The PDP and the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria paraded 13 lawmakers each, which made the assembly pulsating and tension-soaked for four years. Another factor that may help the ruling party is the seeming polarisation of the main opposition party, PDP. The non-committal attitude of strong party members and leaders to buoy the party’s fortunes in elections, has been a great albatross militating against the PDP.
Most disturbing is the fact that a chunk of party’s opinion moulders and power-wielders, are also hobnobbing with Segun Oni-led Social Democratic Party. The same scenario is fiercely playing out in Ekiti West constituency 2, where Hon Bode Johnson Oyekola is the APC candidate. Some powder brokers in the constituency are strongly averse to the alleged brazen fashion the candidate was imposed by a former commissioner in the council. This is also eliciting tension and anti-party activities.
Recently, the Deputy Governor, Mrs Monisade Afuye visited some constituencies to interface with party stakeholders and appealed passionately to them to forget whatever happened at the primaries and work for all the candidates.
