John Kayode Fayemi, Despite His Loss, Is The New Brand Of Leaders Nigeria Need By Dr. Wumi Akintide

I never thought our wasted generation would ever live to see a day in Nigerian politics when a loser in an election would pick up his phone to call his nemesis and later issue a very thoughtful concession statement to an opponent who has just beaten him flat in an election many people would normally have expected him to win as the Governor in power.I never thought our wasted generation would ever live to see a day in Nigerian politics when a loser in an election would pick up his phone to call his nemesis and later issue a very thoughtful concession statement to an opponent who has just beaten him flat in an election many people would normally have expected him to win as the Governor in power.I never thought our wasted generation would ever live to see a day in Nigerian politics when a loser in an election would pick up his phone to call his nemesis and later issue a very thoughtful concession statement to an opponent who has just beaten him flat in an election many people would normally have expected him to win as the Governor in power.

John Kayode Fayemi has just done in Ado Ekiti and I throw my salute to him. I see that as a big plus for Nigeria. I also want to use this platform to congratulate Ayo Fayose the clear winner in that election even though I would not have voted for him. He did what he had to do to win and like I acknowledge in my previous article on him and Kayode Fayemi, posted on the Internet, he is not a pushover in Ekiti or Nigerian Politics given his track record as a former Governor in Ekiti who has now led the opposition to defeat two Governors in Ekiti back to back. I am talking of Governor Adebayo and Governor Fayemi. He, Ayo Fayose has got to be doing something right to have done that. Ayo Fayose, the only politician to call the bluff of General Olusegun Obasanjo when he refused to support his third term agenda is not a political strategist to be taken lightly. I respect him for his courage and conviction but more so now for his resourcefulness in grass-root Politics and his command and control structure in Ekiti.

Gov Fayemi congratulates Ayo Fayose on his victory at the Polls, Promises to arrange a meeting with the governor-elect on way forward for Ekiti state

History was made today in Nigeria for the first time a candidate in an election congratulated his opponent on his victory as the All Progressives Congress (APC), candidate in the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti State and incumbent governor, John Kayode Fayemi has congratulated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), governorship candidate, Ayo Fayose for his victory at the polls.

In a statement broadcasted to the people of Ekiti State, Fayemi said he has spoken with Fayose congratulating him on his victory. According to the result announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Fayose polled 203,090 votes to defeat Fayemi, who scored 120, 433 votes, while the candidate of the Labour Party, Michael Opeyemi Bamidele scored 18, 135 votes.

As Ekiti Decides: A clarion call to United Nation and other International community

That today is the d-day for Ekiti populace to decide who governs them for the next four years is no more a story but the preparations and atmosphere of the state calls for concern.

There has been accusations and counter accusations from opposing angles before today but the reality on ground is worthy of discussion.


AS much as the security of lives,properties and votes of Ekiti and it's people are important,the psychological effect (on voters) of the presence across the state and most especially the known strongholds of the ruling APC of too many security operatives calls for attention.
