Ekiti poll: Olusola-Eleka rejects appeal court judgment, heads to supreme court
Kolapo Olusola-Eleka, governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in last year’s election, has congratulated Kayode Fayemi, the state governor, on his election victory at the supreme court.
The supreme court had upheld the victory of Fayemi in last year’s governorship election. This was after Olusola-Eleka had challenged his victory at the court, alleging that the election was fraught with irregularities.
But in his reaction to the loss, Olusola-Eleka, a former deputy governor of the state, said he decided to congratulate Fayemi because of his nature as an “Omoluabi (cultured person).”
He, however, implored Fayemi to sincerely exhibit the true “Omoluabi” attitude Ekiti people were known for by focusing on governance in the true sense of it.

“My consolation at this time is that the people of Ekiti as well as Fayemi and the APC knew I was robbed and God being God, the true story shall be told someday by those who orchestrated the theft,” he said.
“The least expectation of Ekiti people from Fayemi and APC now is that they should reduce the people’s pains by governing well so the people do not suffer double loss having now lost their mandate freely given.
“I am committed to Ekiti, I am going nowhere but will work side-by-side with my people until Ekiti is delivered from clutches of mindless and heartless vampires and election riggers.

”I urge all true lovers of Ekiti that time for a broad coalition to free Ekiti from those mortgaging its interests and destinies to outside forces has come.
”I am prepared to play my part and together we shall win. Awolowo once said “after darkness comes glorious dawn.”
