Good morning Your Excellency and once again congratulations on your election as APC Presidential Candidate.
However, I must confess to you sir that this is going to be toughest campaign you will ever face and here are my reasons.
I'm a member of APC. A loyal party member but I'm someone who is a realist and who has vowed to speak truth to the power regardless of my party affiliations.
You will recall in 2015 sir that our party campaigned on 3 major points namely;
1. Insecurity 2. Economy 3. Corruption

There are two types of consensus. Let me explain this in a short thread with examples.
The first one is when a Governor endorse an aspirant. Where we have more than one aspirant, the Governor can consult and appeal to them to step down for his preferred aspirant.
If the Governor was able to convince them and they agree to his terms, what you will see on the day of primary is just AFFIRMATION.
At the panel session this morning, we first identified some electoral hotspots in Ekiti using historical background of violence in such areas and other factors. Some of these hotspots include:

Ebonyi & Ekiti were created in 1996 by late Sanni Abbacha.
I stumbled on some data in the middle of the night while doing some reading & I'm not sorry to say this,we've been unfortunate with visionary set of leaders in Ekiti state.
Ebonyi had left us behind. #EkitiDecides2022

I've gone through your review on Engr Kayode Ojo and I will love to make certain points. In the latest interview he did, he clearly stated his visions some of which you highlighted in your review. But let us break them down.
For years, Ekiti seems not to have any DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN. If we do, I'm sure they are outdated. The current administration is working on one. For sake of continuity and sustainability, he promised to review it and harmonise with his own. Fair enough.

In the last few days, Mr @Olayinkalere has been spreading one news about @ekitistategov selling the Ekiti House at Asokoro Abuja.
As usual, the news has been spreading like fire & my Egbon @leespanyol just put it on his TL.
First, it is nothing but Fake news.
Thread.
Note: I don't work with the state govt so I expect them to issue official statement in due course.
However, Egbon Lere is known for fake news and most of our people can easily buy this news.
The onus is on people like us to find out the truth and set the record straight.

When people call our helplines for food support, you will hear something like "sebi nah un nah talk sey make we sit down at home".
Apparently, we ain't government. Honestly, we wish we can take care of every request #EkitiFoodHub
In the last 5days, our mini call center at @GenderMobileNG received average of 300 calls across the 16 LGAs in Ekiti State per day. In other words, we've received an average of 1,500 calls in the last 5days from people asking for food items.

Going by my little findings from the "agbagbas" in respect of the Obas Vs Ekiti state government, I think the Governor might need to apply some wisdom.
Thread.
So, let us start with the emergence of "Pelupelu Obas". Who are these Obas?
From my findings, these "Pelupelu Obas" are the direct descendants of Oduduwa and they include: 1. Owa Obokun of Ijesha 2. Alaye of Efon Alaye 3. Owa Oye of Okemesi 4. Alara of Aramoko

Aregbe had lost his popularity in the 2nd term. APC had already been divided. Oyetola wasn't that popular.
PDP had one single job to do. Put your house in order and get a credible candidate that can appeal to the conscience of the people.
No, they brought Michael Jackson.
I'm not saying Osun election was perfect but hey, PDP could have won that election with a more serious and credible candidate hands down plus putting their house in order.
How many serious minded folks in Osun will even vote for Michael Jackson.
The issue of tractor has been one of the major issues confronting farmers in Ekiti. As i speak with you sir, the Ministry of Agriculture has just one tractor. The others are as good as dead.
How can farmers rely on one tractor sir?
For me to access this one tractor, i have been on the queue for weeks. Even when i had to pay 12,000 per hectare excluding money for Diesel and feeding for the tractor Operator.
I am aware that the Ekiti state govt have started collecting 100naira per day from Okada riders and other commercial vehicles with the aim of boosting our IGR.
Good. However, with the current template, half of the money will go into private purse.
I took my time to interract with some Okada riders to actually analyse their opinions sir @kfayemi
While i discovered that most of the bikes i took have been collecting the tickets, it was obvious some of their colleagues have developed the gimmick of beating the system.
How?

Let's talk about @kfayemi 100 days in office: Is he truly RECLAIMING our lands and RESTORING our values in Ekiti?
In Ekiti, primary school teachers and LG workers just received November 2017 salary.
Yes, November last year.
God punish continuity!!
Dr @kfayemi has a whole lot on his table.
1. Backlog of salaries 2. Backlog of pensioners' salaries 3. Dilapidated infrastructures in Primary and secondary schools, hospitals 4. Dead Ikogosi 5. Dead Fountain hotel 6. Dead Agric Sector
Seriously, huge task.

Killings in Zamfara has no meaning to us again. Bandits killing human beings like animals.
You wonder if there is any presence of government or security architecture in the state.
Bandits will come, slaughtered people and still stole their cows.
After few weeks, we will have reprisal attacks and the vicious cycle continue.
