Wahala dey as Ekiti State don open dem political gate for di 2026 governorship election, but thing no dey sweet as big opposition candidates no dey for di ballot.
Na just yesterday, INEC come show say dem don lift di ban wey dem put on public campaigns. Dis one wan allow all di political wahala wey fit happen for Ekiti to fully begin. But e no dey jolly as di political ground dry, leaving some people to talk say na one horse race we go dey see.
Bunmi Omoseyindemi, wey be Resident Electoral Commissioner for Ekiti, don talk say dem fit start to campaign for di election wey go happen on June 20, 2026. He even urge all political parties make dem carry better mouth talk and no dey use hate speech. But as e be, di final list wey dem publish no get candidates from di PDP and SDP. Dis matter don scatter di opposition party dem!
As e stand, di PDP dey notice wahala as dem court don nullify their recent primary, saying di delegates wey dem use get wahala for di list. Na so dem democracy matter dey cause wahala for inside party as di timing no sweet at all. Just as dem wan start campaign, dem come find demself in dis kind gbege.
People dey complain say dis na just technicality wey dem dey use clear road for di ruling party. Na wetin we fit call “tactics of African politics” wey no new for our eye. Even people wey dey watch di whole drama from Nairobi don talk say di level wey judiciary dey play for vetting candidates and di people’s right to choose dey cause serious kasala!
Wetin we dey see for di campaign trails? Na loudspeakers dey blast, supporters dey jolly and dance. But inside di court, di real fight dey happen. If PDP and SDP no fit find some last-minute lawyer magic, dis election fit turn from contest to coronation. Na wetin we go dey watch closely!
