Ekiti State, incumbent Deputy Governor, Professor
Kolapo Olusola, has emerged candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the
Ekiti state governorship election scheduled to hold on July 14, 2018.
Olusola defeated his rival,
former Minister of State for Works, Dayo Adeyeye, to emerge as the party’s
flagbearer in the governorship primaries.
The election which held
across the 26 local government areas of the state on Tuesday, had more than
2,100 delegates participate in the exercise.
The delegates were made up of
1,585 statutory members of the party, and 547 National Ad-Hoc Committee
Members.
Prior to the election,
Governor Fayose had stated alleged plans by some hoodlums to disrupt the
exercise.
The allegations came shortly
after the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election which held on
Saturday ended inconclusively as thugs invaded the venue of the election,
breaking ballot boxes.
He, therefore, challenged
security agents to do everything necessary to forestall a recurrence of such at
his party’s congress.
