Barely a year to the gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, the two leading political parties in the state; the ruling All Progressives Congress and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party are still entangled in a political quagmire. Raheem Akingbolu who has been following the political trends in the state reckons that issues like zoning, godfatherism and internal rumbling within the two parties are giving stakeholders great concern
Who succeeds Fayemi among scores of his aides? Will the Fayose/Olujimi factions agree to work together? Have people from Ekiti South Senatorial district jettisoned their agitation for power shift?
These and other questions are the puzzles before watchers of Ekiti politics. Unfortunately, the more the people try, the tougher the exercise appears because of the history of political rivalry, suspicion and distrust among the gladiators.
