Old Woman with Old Political Gimmicks.

Old Woman with Old Political Gimmicks.

The narrative being peddled by the faceless "Olooto Ekiti" regarding the Ekiti South Senatorial District is not just a fabrication, it is a desperate, recycled gimmick designed to sow seeds of discord where there is already absolute clarity.

The "leaked list" currently being circulated by the notorious pseudonym, Olooto Ekiti, is nothing more than a poorly scripted work of fiction from the stable of an "author of confusion." The claim that Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji is "undecided" on Ekiti South due to "Presidency influence" for Senator Biodun Olujimi is a laughable lie that ignores the political reality on the ground.

It is important to remind the public that this is the same faceless Olooto Ekiti,  who recently attempted to deceive the people by circulating an old, out-of-context photograph of Senator Olujimi with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. That desperate attempt to fake a presidential endorsement was quickly busted as a fraud, forcing the perpetrators to shamelessly withdraw the claim and change their narrative once the lies were exposed. Having failed with photo-trickery, they have now resorted to "leaked lists" to maintain their relevance.

The suggestion that the Governor or the APC leadership would bypass a foundational member and a loyalist like Senator Yemi Adaramodu for a newcomer is preposterous. Sen. Adaramodu is a cornerstone of the APC structure in Ekiti, whereas Senator Biodun Olujimi is a political migrant who lacks any political bearing, to the extent that she was soundly defeated as an incumbent Senator by Adaramodu when he was still a House of Representatives member.

There is no indecision in Ekiti South. Senator Yemi Adaramodu has already received overwhelming endorsements from the party leadership and executives across all six local government areas of the district. The Governor remains fully aligned with the party’s grassroots structure. These "sponsored gimmicks" of the old woman are the same lies they used to destroy their former party, and they will not be allowed to introduce such toxicity into the All Progressives Congress.

We have it on good authority that "Olooto Ekiti" is being funded by poor losers who realize they cannot compete with an astute politician like Adaramodu. The road is blocked. Ekiti South is firmly decided, and no amount of faceless propaganda or recycled lies can change that reality.
