Except for last minute changes, the President of the apex body for Muslim women, Federation of Muslim women Associations of Nigeria (FOMWAN), Ekiti State Chapter and Former Commissioner for women affairs, Alhaja Dr Habibat Adubiaro has been picked as running mate of APC governorship candidate, Dr Fayemi.

Mrs Habibat is from Ado Ekiti, and a Senior lecturer at the Federal University in Oye-Ekiti.

Dr Adubiaro will be the deputy governorship candidate to Dr Kayode Fayemi of the APC in July 14th governorship election in the state.

Although the party is yet to officially announce the running mate of Fayemi ahead of the poll, her selection by the APC has matched the PDP in selection and even sur them.

While the PDP used Deji Ogunsakin’s deputy governorship candidature to fix Muslims and Ado Ekiti, APC’s choice will cut across religious sentiment being a Muslim and settle Ado Ekiti being the biggest voter concentration area. APC also beat the PDP on gender balance.

Also, Muslims may tend more to the side of Alhaja Habibat Adubiaro been an active Muslim known in the Islamic circle.

Deji Ogunsakin though a Muslim cannot muster the popularity commanded by Alhaja Adubiaro among the Muslims in Ekiti state.The stage is set and the game is getting more interesting.

Do you read and criticise constructively at all or you are beclouded by a sense of hatred? The outgoing Gov Fayose first played the religious card by handpicking a Muslim running mate for Prof Olushola Elena. To please who?

So Dr. Fayemi has committed a "big sin" for choosing a running mate of Muslim extraction?

You shouldn't have bothered to enlighten him. Some people a just lazy to read and discern from the write up.

16:0 reloaded Fayemi can even make sultan his running mate, he will be defeated!

I can smell Fulani herdsmen loading in Ekiti state!

Of course he has to as dictated by the Muslim owned party and largely yoruba muslims. Fayemi was born Muslim, and 75% of Yorubas are muslims. 80% of all SW states governors since 1999 are Yoruba muslims.

Ok

MURIC threats worked!

there is nothing call best candidate in Nigeria they have same agenda no mission and no vision.

I WILL STOP HERE UNLESS YOU NEED MORE PROOF.

Further entrenching religion in partisan politics.

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised soon if the country's constitution will be amended to enshrine rotatation of the office of presidency between the predominantly Christian South and the predominantly Muslim North.

@sean100x: FYI, Mimiko is Christian, Adefarati of Ondo (governor from 1999 - 2003) was Christian, his successor Olusegun Agagu was also Christian, Former Osun state governor who ruled the state before Aregbesola (Olagunsoye Oyinlola) and his deputy at the time were BOTH Christians and Muslims did not go on a rampage in the state. Former Governors of Ogun state from 1999 - 2011 (Olusegun Osoba and Gbenga Daniel) were Christians. Former Governor Alao Akala of Oyo is a Christian. All Governors of Ekiti since '99, Fayose, Niyi Adebayo and FAyemi were all Christians. Currently Ambode is a Christian, Akeredolu is also a Christian, Fayose is a Christian. Yorubas are not into your, bigoted, and hate-inspired way of life since you lots see everything from an ethnic and religious lens. Stick to your ipob agitation.
