With 1,059,360 registered voters set to decide Ekiti State’s next governor today, the All Progressives Congress, Peoples Democratic Party and African Democratic Congress have expressed confidence in securing victory at the poll.
While the APC said it was targeting a landslide victory across all 16 local government areas of the state, the PDP and ADC insisted they had the support needed to win in at least 10 local governments each.
The APC State Publicity Secretary, Segun Dipe, said, “Our expectation in the governorship election is to win by a landslide. We have a target of 500,000 votes. We want to get the 500,000 votes and exceed it. That’s our expectation.
“We are looking at winning 16 out of 16 local governments, 177 out of 177 wards, 2,445 out of 2,445 polling units.”
Asked about the party’s fears regarding the poll, Dipe said, “We have nothing to fear; the only anticipation is that we want to make history. We know we will win, but we want to win by a landslide. We have been talking about 500,000 votes, we want to realise it and exceed it; that is our expectation and anticipation, not fear.”
