Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state will know his fate today as the Supreme court will be delivering its judgement on the petition filed by the APC challenging his victory at the June 21 2014 governorship election. APC in its petition tendered, had alleged that unlawful use of soldiers, intimidation of its supporters and compromised ballot papers were used to achieve his victory at last year's elections. The APC earlier had lost a petition at the Ekiti state Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal on December 19, 2014 which upheld Governor Fayose’s victory. A dissatisfied APC approached the Supreme court for further hearing on the matter.
Meanwhile tension has reportedly gripped the state as both party supporters are awaiting the outcome of the supreme court judgement today.
