LIVE: Ekiti voters elect new governor

Olusola, deputy governor of the state and candidate of the PDP arriving his polling unit in Ikere.

Will this really happen? We don't have the answer


"The Lord said I should congratulate you... you'll be declared before night fall," the governor had said.


On Wednesday, the governor’s office was allegedly invaded by security agencies and Fayose was slapped and teargassed but that did not prevent him from anointing his deputy on the eve of the election.


Fayose’s residence in Afao-Ekiti. One of the security agents stationed here tells TheCable that the governor, who came in last night, is still resting.
