EKITI POLLS: Former Attorney-General challenges Fashola

Former attorney-general of Ekiti State, Barrister Owoseni Ajayi, has chided Lagos State governor Babatunde Fashola for disparaging the people of Ekiti State over their choice of the Ayodele Fayose as governor, urging him to come to terms with the result. Commenting on the Ekiti guber polls, Fashola had expressed reservations over the outcome of the election, raising questions over the loss of the incumbent governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, at the June 21 election. According to reports from Leadership, Barr. Ajayi issued a statement in Abuja in which he disagreed with Fashola’s view on the outcome of the election in a back pages of some national dailies last Monday, the position of governor amounts to a direct insult on the sensibility of Ekiti people. He said, “In his previous interviews, Governor Fashola desperately and pathetically attempted to detract from the credibility of Governor Fayose’s victory by insinuating that it was a sheer impossibility for the governor-elect to win the Ekiti State gubernatorial election with such landslide; defeating the incumbent Governor, his deputy, three senators and all their House of Assembly members in their various local governments.”
