Ekiti 2018: PDP hails NOI Poll on guber election

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) hails the result of the independent public poll conducted by the NOI Polls, which shows its candidate in the Ekiti in the July 14 governorship election, Professor Kolapo Olusola, was far above his All Progressives Congress (APC) rival, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi.
The party in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party said the exercise conducted by the impartial country-specific and research-based polling bodies in Africa, represents the natural response by Ekiti people to sterling performance of Governor Ayo Fayose.
The party equally thinks that the result was a reflection of the popularity of the PDP in the state noting that it was not surprised at the outcome of the polls.
“It is instructive that the poll reflected the fact that the PDP candidate enjoys overwhelming support across the three senatorial districts while leading in goodwill among the broader voting demography cutting across all age and gender categories across the state with a significant 8-point margin against Fayemi.
Therefore, the PDP congratulated its governorship candidate, Prof. Olusola, stating the people of Ekiti have rejected the APC and its candidate, who the PDP said were aware that they have no stand in the election.
Also, the PDP warned the APC against implementing its desperate ploy to rig the election noting that the resort to various clandestine schemes in that regard would be resisted.
It warned the APC against disrespecting the will of the people and urged the party to desist from its plots to use compromised the INEC and security officials to manipulate the election.
It said any immoral act would attract the legitimate wrath of the people against them, adding that Ekiti people were alert and “ready to resist any attempt by anybody whatsoever to subvert their will at this election even as we restate our resolve with the people to ensure that in this election, only the wishes and aspirations of the people prevail”.
