Allow Ekiti to enjoy peace, presidency tells APC

Bomb Blast in Ekiti: Fayemi plotting to set Ekiti against Fayose –Bamidele

Fayose, Ekiti and politics of Southwest

Peter Ayodele Fayose, the Governor-Elect of Ekiti State, is an enigma in Nigerian politics. Nobody seems to understand his style and strategies. Until the declaration of the results of the governorship election of June 21st, 2014, which proclaimed him as winner, by a large margin, it was confusing whether, indeed, this ebullient politician was truly a man of the people or merely a self-conceited rabble-rouser. Compared to the quiet, soft-spoken and shy-looking incumbent Governor of the State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Fayose appears loud and too much of an extrovert. He exhumes so much confidence that when he speaks, he is easily taken for an arrogant person.

Ekiti Election: I reserve my comment

The most amusing thing about Nigerian analysts, the outspoken observers of our political evolution into a pseudo-democratic nation, is our shared hypocrisy in reacting to outcomes of predictable public issues. This can be seen, most recently, in our responses to the outcome of Ekiti governorship election. In this build-up to the next presidential election, I have personally transformed from being an uncompromising idealist into being

Ekiti Elections: Another View

Several arguments have been advanced to explain the loss of the gubernatorial elections in Ekiti State by the incumbent, Kayode Fayemi of All Progressives Congress. There is the argument that Fayemi was too elitist, and was unable to connect with the people in a consequential way. There is also the related argument that his government’s political communication—explaining its policies and activities to the people—left much to be desired.

Ekiti Election: A show of Democracy in Nigeria

cartoonBeyond the pantomime of backslapping and the euphoria of excitement that attended the outcome of the June 21, 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State, the victory of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has some fundamental lessons. One, it has confounded the bookmakers who dismissed Mr. Ayodele Fayose of the PDP as simply a “thug” who would not match the intellectual fireworks of a presumed philosopher-king. The outcome of the election also made nonsense of the alliterative desperation of headline casters who openly denigrated the PDP flag bearer and
