Social commentator and businessman Isaac Fayose has asserted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is losing its hold on Ekiti State following the impressive crowd that turned out for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate at a recent political event. Reacting to videos and images from the gathering, Fayose stated that the large turnout demonstrated growing support for the PDP ahead of the governorship election, and that the ruling APC should be concerned by this development.
Growing Public Interest in PDP
According to Fayose, the turnout reflects increasing public interest in the opposition party and signals a possible shift in the political atmosphere of the state before the polls. He argued that the reception given to the PDP candidate highlights the strength of the party's grassroots support, contradicting claims by some political figures that the PDP no longer holds influence in Ekiti.
Competitive Governorship Race
Fayose maintained that the enthusiasm displayed by supporters at the event suggests the governorship contest will be more competitive than many anticipate. He emphasized that the election should not be judged solely on political calculations or endorsements, stressing that the people of Ekiti will ultimately decide their governor through their votes.
His remarks come amid increasing political activities and campaigns ahead of the Ekiti governorship election, with both major parties intensifying efforts to secure support across the state. The PDP rally has sparked discussions about the potential for a tight race, challenging the APC's dominance in the region.
