EKITI GURBER TUSSLE OVER ZONING

By Amid a Emmanuel

Ekiti State was created on october 1,1996 by Late General Sani Abacha. After three years of the state creation,Nigeria returned to Democracy.
Out of the three zones in the state,Two zones(central and North) had been controlling the power affairs of the state since 14 years democracy and two zones classified Ekiti South as alien Sons and Daughters.

Below are the prove and facts of my findings

Mr Tunde Odunsina. Minister. (2007-2008) less than a year
Hon Ebenezer Ayorinde. Member Fed governing council (2013 -till date)
Education and others : State College of Education Ikere

The highlighted above shows that it was Ekiti South that has never produced a governor of the state,Even the Federal appointee only Dr Tunde Odunsina(Ise Ekiti) Ekiti South was appointed as Minister just less than a year since 1999.
Ekiti people,we need to focus on the Governorship aspirants that come from Ekiti South Senatorial district.
Infact,Ekiti South have 6 LGA while other two Zones had 5 LGA each.

Ekiti South Senatorial District should wake up from Slumber,it is high time to reposition our self.

It is possible that Ekiti state will decide who will be there next governor that will governs them but we should not forget the fact in the interest of Equity,Justice and Fairness,every section of the state should have a sense of belonging.

Ekiti State belongs to all of us and not a particular zone.
Ekiti South should be given the chance to present the next Governor.
God Bless Ekiti State
