APC, PDP, Plateau Politics, Deputy SpeakerAn Elder statesman of the Afenifere Group, Senator Ayo Fasanmi, is predicting the fall of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2018 governorship election.

Senator Fasanmi made the prediction of the APC’s victory in 2018 when Ekiti State Afenifere group led by the Chairman of Afenifere, Ekiti, Jonathan Alade, visited Osogbo.

This is coming few hours after the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, vowed to ensure that the Peoples Democratic Party retains the state after the 2018 election.

On the outcome of Ondo State governorship election, the Senator commended the process, saying he was happy that the Ondo State election was violent free. He advised all Yoruba people to begin to speak with the one voice.

He further expressed joy at the victory of Mr Rotimi Akeredolu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in that election.

Fasanmi said: “The role of Egbe Afenifere is very clear and it is to bring all of us together under one umbrella. It has always been my belief that if we do not allow politics to put us asunder, those who want us apart will not succeed. We all see what the result of the election in Ondo State is and we are very happy.

“One of the ultimate objective is to bring together all the Yorubas irrespective of their political party.

“I feel personally happy that the Afenifere in Ekiti State has come to visit me. We all know the mission is to rescue Ekiti. Ondo state has just been rescued and the only state remaining is Ekiti State and by the grace of God, between now and the next two years, Ekiti will come back to the fray”.

The Secretary of Afenifere, Ekiti State, Mr Ronke Okusanya, who was part of the team led by the Chairman, Jonathan Alade, pointed out that some Southwest states’ elections have always been marred by violence, but expressed joy that the Ondo election did not record any.

“What we pray for now is a peaceful transition. The unity of all Yoruba nation is our watchword.

“Senator Fasanmi as a chieftain in Afenifere, wants to see every one of us in unity and to move the nation forward irrespective of the political party,” he stressed.

The chairman of the group described Senator Fasanmi as an honest and dependable leader, who had worked tirelessly in the interest of the development of the Yoruba race.
