The release of the 2022 Governorship election timetable in Ekiti State by the Independent National Electoral Commission, has seen the All Progressives Congress in the state and the Peoples Democratic Party trade words.
The Ekiti State chapter on Wednesday expressed confidence its candidate will take over from the state Governor, Kayode Fayemi, however, the PDP advised the ruling party to prepare its handover notes.
INEC disclosed on Wednesday that the Ekiti State Governorship election will be held on June 18, 2022.
The spokesman of the APC in Ekiti State, Ade Ajayi, said, “The PDP is bedevilled with a myriad of crises that won’t allow it to win any election.
“Let me tell you that we are prepared and well-grounded to win the poll. APC is a more cohesive party. We are united under the leadership of Governor Fayemi. We are banking on our impressive performances to win and we are sure that the PDP will suffer another defeat again as they did in 2018.”
However, his PDP counterpart, Raphael Adeyanju said “We know Ekiti (people) will reject a party that has disappointed them. A party that can’t fix their roads, that can’t provide employment for youths, that can’t affect promotions for workers, can’t continue to rule us. So, we are well prepared.
“You can all see that the PDP demonstrated maturity in the way we handled our zonal congress while all issues relating to the state zonal congress were being resolved amicably without rancour.”
