Wahala don dey brew for Ekiti o! As June 20, 2026, gubernatorial election dey approach, you need hear how things dey go. I just gist my friend say I dey do research for di election, and true true, e no go easy.
Na so we start talk about all di wahala wey dey ground. I tell am say Ekiti don yan for beta change. Dey don get direct flights from Abuja and Lagos to Ado-Ekiti. You sabi say di new Ekiti Agro-Allied International Cargo Airport don launch since December? E sweet me well, because no more waka go Ondo, direct to di source be dat!
As I land for Ado-Ekiti last week, I be like mini celebrity. Dem don recognize me well-well – airport workers and passengers dey hail me! My friend dey laugh say golden fish no fit hide, na him own be dat!
No be lie o, I even catch my secondary school mate, Yinka Oyebode, wey dey serve as Chief Press Secretary to Governor Biodun Oyebanji. E host me and my colleague for barbecue night wey sweet die!
