Enough is Enough Nigeria, a coalition of young Nigerians promoting good governance and citizen engagement, will host a live televised debate for three of the leading contenders for the Ekiti State governorship election on Sunday.
The election comes up on June 21.
This continues EiE’s tradition of hosting youth-focused debates, having co-hosted the first youth-focused presidential debate in the country in 2011.
It has since hosted debates in Cross River and Anambra States in partnership with Channels Television.
There are 18 candidates vying for the position of governor and the four leading candidates were invited to participate in the debate: the incumbent, Governor Kayode Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress; former Governor Ayo Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party; Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele of the Labour Party; and Accord Party flagbearer, Kole Ajayi.
Fayose of the PDP declined to participate in the debate.
Candidates are expected to make public their plans for Ekiti State youth, with special focus on education, security, power supply and employment/enterprise.
The debate will be aired live on EKTV, NTA Ekiti and TVC.
