By; OLADELE ADEDAYO, Ado-Ekiti
As the race to the Ekiti State governorship election approaches, the Deputy Governor and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)  anointed candidate for the 2018 governorship poll, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, has boasted that the resolute nature of the Ekiti electorate will make it difficult for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to use questionable means to wrest power from the ruling PDP in the State.
Olusola said the people’s will is mightier than the federal might in
any democratic setting, saying the rants that the federal government  may deploy its power to rig the election in favour of APC , he described as ‘unpopular party’ , won’t work.
The Governor Ayodele Fayose’s deputy described his candidacy as
God-ordained, urging his kinsmen from Ikere Ekiti to see the
governorship project as ‘Ikere agenda’ that must be supported by all the indigenes, regardless of political inclinations.
The deputy governor spoke in Ikere Ekiti on Tuesday during a rally
organized by the youths to bolster his political aspiration.
The rally, which witnessed mammoth crowd started from Oke Ikere via Uro quarters and ended at the palace of Ogoga of Ikere -Ekiti, Oba Adejimi Adu Alagbado.
Those who participated in the procession included: the Speaker, Hon. Kola Oluwawole, Commissioners for Education, Jide Eegunjobi, Budget, Gbenga Olajide, honourable representing Ikere 1 at the State House of Assembly, Hon. Wale Ayeni, Special Adviser on Political Matters,Alhaji Dauda Ajise, among others.
Olusola, who addressed the crowd advised the indigenes of the second most populous town in Ekiti to participate in the ongoing Continuous Voter registration exercise with the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) to shore up the voting strength of the town ahead of the poll.
“It is necessary that you register because that your voter cards are
your AK47 against the APC on the day of election. It is the weapon
that you will use to vote for a man of your choice , so that these
people won’t come through the backdoor to power.
“Today’s rally shows that all the Ikere sons and daughters appreciated our governor, Chief Fayose for deeming it fit to make Ikere person a  candidate. You must come together to support this project , because  this is more of Ikere agenda that knows no political bounds.
“Whether you are PDP or APC members, you must support this project and when an Ikere person becomes the governor, all of us will reap the benefit.
“We are grateful to governor Fayose and the PDP for counting one of us
worthy to become the governor.
“You know that our governor is a friend of the masses. He loves the
people and operates an open door policy. Let me assure you that I will
operate the same way if you elect me, because Fayose leads, we
follow”, he said.

Olusola added that the December 23 , 2017 local government elections in the State would be a mere walk over for the PDP.
“The PDP will win all the 16 chairmanship and the 177 councillorship seats, I don’t expect anything less”, he stated.
