“We,, members of the Ekiti Kete Collective urged the leadership of the PDP to be wary of strange individuals who will be making their ways into their party.

Going further, Aluko on behalf of the group stated that the APC has perfected plans to sponsor candidates, particularly the younger brother of the Chief of Army, one Dr. Wole Oluyede to contest the ticket of the party.

The group however urged the PDP to be mindful of the fact that God has placed it at a vantage position to rescue the state from misrule and bad governance.
“We are appealing to them, not to betray the collective trust of the Ekiti people on this regards, so it’s to our party advantage to give the ticket to a core member of our great party,” the statement concluded.
