Lesson from Ekiti Election:

The PDP biggest mistake in the election was allowing the governorship campaign to revolve around the outgoing governor, Ayodele Fayose instead of their candidate.

The biggest lesson from the PDP’s defeat is that the party’s flag bearer is unpopular in the political landscape of Ekiti.

Everybody knows Fayose as a sitting governor in Ekiti and Mr Kayode Fayemi as the flag bearer of the APC but only few people know the PDP flagbearer.

On the day of the election, the good people of Ekiti voted massively for the candidate they know, I think this is an instructive lesson for politicians across the country.

It could've worked in some other part of the country, but not in the South West generally and Ekiti in particular. Fayose was everywhere, campaign stump,he is the one talking, on radio every night, talking,boasting,sometimes preaching, quoting Bible verses like those preachers on Radio. All in his megalomaniac ways of hoodwinking the people. Eleka was relegated to the background, there was no singular handbill where he enunciated or enumerated what he is going to do for the people of the state, the few times he was allowed to speak,it was to say fayose is his mentor, his father,his benefactor bla bla bla. Cringe worthy performances from a Governor to be? Only the gullible ones were impressed, thank Goodness they were in the minority.
