Bisi Kolawole is Ekiti State PDP Governorship Candidate

Bisi Kolawole has emerged as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the June 18 governorship election in Ekiti state.

Kolawole, a former chairman of the PDP in Ekiti State had resigned his position to contest.

He edged out Segun Oni, an ex-governor, and Kolapo Olusola, a former deputy governor of the state.

Kolawole is the preferred aspirant of former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose.

In a statement before the primary elections, Fayose had described Kolawole as a bridge-builder who will usher in a better future for Ekiti and the PDP.

He said “The man you have come to honour, Bisi Kolawole, is our collective project. I made him my preferred candidate in the overall interest of our party, but this does not foreclose due process of nomination in PDP,”

“PDP is what we are supporting; it is what we are marketing. And all we want is a winner. We have started consultations and I know that victory is sure for us.”

Emmanuel Udom, governor of Akwa Ibom, was the chairman of the primary election committee.
