The former Governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose has reacted to the postponement on the elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Reacting on Twitter, Fayose said “Two days ago, I told Nigerians that the Presidency cabal were considering postponement of the elections because they knew that they can’t win. Now I’m vindicated. With this, they have only succeeded in making their situation worse. Nigerians will defeat this tyranny ultimately.”
