Muslims in Ekiti State have asked Governor Ayodele Fayose to consider fielding a Muslim governorship candidate for the 2018 gubernatorial election in the state from his party , Peoples ’ Democratic Party .
The Chief Imam of Ekiti , Alhaji Jamiu Kewulere Bello, made the demand on Friday during the Eid- el - Adha prayer at the Muslims ’ prayer ground along Poly Road in Ado - Ekiti .
