Watch How Bisi Kolawole, Fayose’s Anointed Candidate Emerged As The Ekiti PDP Governorship Candidate

Bisi Kolawole has emerged as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the June 18 governorship election in Ekiti state. Kolawole, a former chairman of the PDP in Ekiti, edged out Segun Oni, an ex-governor, and Kolapo Olusola, a former deputy governor of the state, at the primary election that took place in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday. Kolawole had resigned his position as Ekiti PDP chairman to contest the governorship election. He was the preferred aspirant of Fayose, former governor of the state. Kolawole is a former lawmaker representing Efon constituency in the state house of assembly. He also served as commissioner of environment between 2015 and 2018. While endorsing Kolawole for the governorship election, Fayose had described him as a bridge-builder who will usher in a better future for Ekiti and the PDP. Biodun Olujimi, the senator representing Ekiti south, had pulled out of the race earlier in the day, accusing the party of disenfranchising her. The delegates first converged at the Pastoral Centre in Ado-Ekiti to get accredited, after which they moved to Great Eagle Hall for the voting exercise. Governor Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom state chaired the Ekiti primary election committee.
