Ekiti 2022: Motorists Accuse Governors of Being Unfair to Road Users Prior to Poll
Some motorists along the Akure and the Ikere area of Ekiti state have lamented the terrible state of the road.
Speaking with Legit.ng, the road users said Ondo and Ekiti states and the federal government have abandoned them to their plight and as a result, they have lost hope that the road will be repaired.

A driver who simply identified himself as Deji said waking up to face the road on a daily basis is sickening.
His words:
"We have a terrible road right from Akure to Ikere. It is surprising that despite the fact that we have the ruling party governing these two states, that road is a disgrace. A journey of an hour will last for three hours because of a bad road."

Another road user who refused to give her name because of security issues said that Governors Fayemi and Akeredolu should be ashamed of themselves over the terrible state of the road.
Noting the fact that the two governors are close to the power at the centre, the road user said the people in the area should not be going through such challenges to access the road.
Recall that some time ago, Rivers state governor Nyesom Wike, during a visit to Ekiti lamented the state of the road to Fayemi.

Ekiti 2022: Labour Party collapses state structure in full support of APC's Oyebanji? Buhari's ex-aide speaks
Since he lost the APC ticket in the House of Representatives, Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential media aide, had been more vocal.
In a tweet on Tuesday, June 14, Ahmad stated that he just read what some might call an impossible affair between the Labour Party and the APC in Ekiti ahead of the coming gubernatorial election.
According to what Ahmad said he read, the LP had collapsed its structure in the southwest state in a bid to work for the emergence of Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, the APC's governorship candidate.
