Allstar023 They would soon start shouting democracy has failed us

Congratulations again and again. I join millions of Nigerians to celebrate the NGF (PIP) Chairman on his victory today at the Supreme court judgement on 2018 Governorship election victory over PDP in Ekiti state. More grease to your elbow.

Congratulations sir.

Democracy is in trouble.

HENRYINCORP Congratulations to him for that

Double congratulations to Governor Fayemi.

You lose some, you win some 👌

What do you expect

Compensation

Fayose made it impossible for OfficialPDPNig to win ekiti, how can he collect bailout funds and stil not pay salary?

Where is GovAyoFayose ?

GovAyoFayose will remain in sefere pains.

For conscience sake and for the good of Nigeria, APC won Ekiti fair and square, but PDP won Kano and Osun.

Supreme Court; we hail thee, you exchanged ekiti with zamfara. OK no wahala, it is the falt of Fayose who refused to play his game well

I'm neither pro PDP nor an APC apologist, but truth be told, Fayose really did not fare well as a governor, hence the people spoke their ballot, the same should be for Osun and Kano, let the right winners be governors.

When wld this cifia pain leave uncle bayi gan pa pa! If corruption case is - ve nko? Uncle GovAyoFayose is dying politically, abi ewo ni gbogbo wahala yi gan na!

ogundamisi Congratulation

Not surprised,you can't dine with Herod and someone's head will not roll...naija I hail o!

ALHAMDULILLAH

ogundamisi Wan na oshoko pa.

Saw it coming..

Wow. Democracy is in danger right here. 😩😩😩

That settles it. Vote buying or not, it simply means Eleka actually did not do his homework. Congratulations to Fayemi.

Democracy in danger, PDP

ogundamisi This is how Supreme Court will declare Our Able President Buhari winner (again) Of the Presidential Election.

1 - 1, Ekiti/Zamfara

Not surprised at all. Fayose didn't do well as governor, owed salaries. The man was the architect of PDP failure in the state. Hopefully fayemi can fix things in 4 years cos that's all he has.

B4 nko...nw dey can rest

Another victory for Fayemi in just a week, good luck to the chairman of the governor's forum.

Democracy is in danger. 😁

final bus stop. Start work now

End of Osoko the rock petition.

What a sweet victory .Congratulations my Chairman. Its time to put the dispute behind and start working for your boss .I mean 2023 thing!
