EKO HOT BLOG reports that the former Governor of Ekiti State, Peter Ayodele Fayose is under serious criticism on Twitter over the loss of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bisi Kolawole, in the Ekiti Governorship election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in the early hours of Sunday, had declared Abiodun Oyebanji the winner of the governorship election in Ekiti State.

Oyebanji, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the election, who won 15 out of the 16 Local Government Areas of the state gathered 187,057 votes.

The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Segun Oni came second with 82,211, while the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bisi Kolawole gathered 67,457 votes.

A total of 16 candidates took part in the election. The total valid votes in the election were 351,865, void votes, 8,888 and total votes cast, 360,753.

Recall that Fayose had anointed Kolawole as the PDP candidate in the election and worked towards his emergence as the party’s governorship candidate in the primary election that took place in April.

Oyebanji’s emergence as the new governor-elect has, however, generated a barrage of reactions on social media as netizens mocked Fayose for failing to work for the victory of his anointed candidate.

See some of the reactions below.

Shallow minded people like Fayose thinks they have earned the right to insist on whoever they want to represent the party. That is how they lost the likes of Peter Obi, Segun Oni etc.. Until PDP starts respecting popular opinion.. Shame and defeat will be the story

When PDP is ready for serious business in Ekiti, they will send Fayose away from that party.

If not, that party in Ekiti, under Fayose, will never see the light of the day again.

Stay there and be shouting vote buying…#EkitiDecides2022

Fayose buried the PDP in Ekiti State.
Oni and Fayose started their cat and dog fight in 2007 and Fayose couldn’t also let go for the success of his party for the 2022 governorship election.
It seems Fayose collected money from the APC to give them a good ride.#EkitiDecides pic.twitter.com/0g3sBcX3LC
