Most of us here may rightly be smelling imminent ethno-religious harvest season, and that's o.k.. However, it does not appear that the APC and their supporters learned much from Dr Fayemi's defeat in Ekiti State--and he was the only non-Muslim Governor in the APC! It's neither the crowd at rallies, nor non-voting diaspora-dominated social media fundamentalists and ideologues and spatially-aligned newspaper hacks that win elections.
Edo State governor Adams Oshiomhole is a Christian and belongs to the APC.
