The re run election took place in 10 LGs in Ekiti state between Kayode Fayemi (AC) and Segun Oni (PDP). Segun Oni won.

The re run election would take place in 10 wards in Ekiti state between Fayemi (AC) and Segun Oni (PDP). What do you guys think of the election and who is likely to win ?

Fayemi should win.
I was watching Fayose on AIT some few days ago and he seems to have convinced the Ekiti residents that Segun Oni has been useless so far.
It will be interesting. I wish i was in Naija to witness this drama.

Segun Oni did the same thing on MITV. He rubbished the audacity of Fayemi, Tinubu and Fayose. He called them cowards that prefer darkness to light. I trust PDP to retain the mantle.

I trust PDP to retain the mantle.

Well fortunately,PDP isnt retaining any mandle beacuse they have failed the nation,
Fayemi is simply winning
GO Fayemi!!!!!!!!!
GO AC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately for Fayemi, most of his loyals are domiciled abroad or outtside Ekiti.

We shall see.
Fayose is tightening his hold.
He seems to have some facts that Segun Oni has been useless.

Maybe u forgot that pdp has spread her tentacles in ekiti. Councilors, lg chairmen, commissioners, reps , and Segun Oni are all working as a team. If Segun looses, then others can't remain in office.

@Poster,
If free and fair election is allowed to take place then Fayemi is sweeping out Oni and his rubbish from Ekiti for Good.

on a plain field ac will win.

This update is a good idea,

I hope the next time we have an election we will have something like the 606 debate on BBC so that if any member of the public spots any trouble they can quickly text in location of trouble and if possible take pictures with their mobile phone to upload on youtube.

So that No compromised judge will say there is no evidence of trouble.

They are all criminals
so what does it really matter who wins?
do they even really win
It's a matter of who out-rigs and out-thugs the other
Is Ekiti not in Naija again?
you people shouldn't waste your time.

i feel your pain but still allow the people to vote their bad leaders in

AC must win yarada and co,

a vibrant opposition alternative can only do naija good.

I hope APGA, PPA and Labour Party will all join the broom revolution and give the PDP a run for their money.

Competitiveness breeds innovation, at some point this people will realise that the only way to sustain your party in Governance in this day and age is good governance.

But all these wont be possible without a vibrant opposition.

I hope Sen. Arise goes to jail if found guilty.

I hope APGA, PPA and Labour Party will all join the broom revolution and give the PDP a run for their money.

what point would it make if an old crook is replaced by a new crook?

There would be a vibrant opposition when Nigerian parties are based on ideologies and not personalities. and no awoism doesn't count.

well if one dominant party continues to rule, their is no point to reform. after all they are winning

but if there is competition, in time the only wining argument becomes that which people can identify with.

so who really is this Fayemi guy or we just want anything as long as its not PDP?

What has he done, what was he doing before?

Dis Guy:

What has he done, what was he doing before?

Type his name on Google, you'll who Fayemi is,
and what he sacrificed for the Afeniferes during Abacha's regime.

Mind you,
It's not how far, but how well!

anything but PDP at this time

I hope they loose more states.

if we of the 36 States

12 PDP
8 ANPP
7 AC
Others 4.

The quality of our political debate will be different.

Fayemi has clearly won this . . .

This is one unriggable election

BREAKING NEWS: AC leads in Gbonyin LGA in Ekiti State, PDP in Ekiti East

The first officials results shows that Action Congress leads in Gbonyin Local Government area of Ekiti State.

1. Gbonyin LGA:

AC- 1,693 votes

PDP-1245
2. Ise -Orun LGA

AC: 4,221

PDP:3,861

3: Ekiti -East LGA:

AC-3,800

PDP- 4,739

Is the PDP adopting the Supreme court formula for Ekiti elections

You know 4 Judges for PDP, 3 for Opposition - In the end P|DP still wins

They might just decide 6 LGA for PDP, 4 LGA for AC.

but by the way does the 2/3 majority rule still hold in Nigeria?

the question begging for an answer is,rigging aside,who are the ekiti indigenes still voting with eyes wide open for pdp??
sometimes we deserve everything we get from these people,how can pdp still have these kind of margins with all that has gone on in that state?guessn the salt and rice sharing still works after all,the politicians have gotten enough blame,they deserve everything oni will put them through if the guy should win this election!
