The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Ekiti State, Wole Oluyede, has publicly stated that he operates without a political godfather. In a recent interview on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ program, Oluyede emphasized that the true godfathers of his campaign are the people of Ekiti State.
Acknowledging the upcoming gubernatorial election scheduled for Saturday, Oluyede expressed confidence in his connection with the electorate. He noted, “It is well known that my only godfathers are the citizens themselves. They must recognize my proven track record of investing in our state. Currently, I am the sole individual willing to trust Ekiti by investing my personal resources, time, and energy to create change.”
Oluyede also raised concerns about the impartiality of the police force in Ekiti, alleging that his supporters face unwarranted arrests while opponents from the All Progressives Congress (APC) attack people with impunity. “I am deeply suspicious of the police’s fairness here. When our supporters are detained without explanation, yet APC agents in my hometown wield machetes without consequence, we must question the system,” he added.
