Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state will today know his fate as the Supreme court will be delivering judgement
on the petition filed by the APC challenging his victory at the June
21 2014 governorship election. APC in its petition, had alleged that
unlawful use of soldiers, intimidation of its supporters and compromised
ballot papers were used to achieve his victory at last year's
elections. The APC had lost in an earlier petition at the Ekiti state
Governorship Election
Petitions Tribunal on December 19, 2014 which upheld Governor Fayose’s
victory. A dissatisfied APC approached the
Supreme court for further hearing on the matter.
Meanwhile
tension has reportedly gripped the state as both party supporters are
awaiting the outcome of the supreme court judgement today.
