Dr. Habibat Adubiaro, is presently the President of Federation of Muslim Women’s Association of Nigeria, Ekiti State Chapter, and a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Industrial Chemistry at the federal university, Oye Ekiti.

Naija News recalls that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), also picked a Muslim, Deji Ogunsakin as the party’s deputy governorship candidate.

The stage is getting set and the game is getting more interesting as political gladiators continue to shine their armour ahead of the Ekiti governorship polls.

It however remains the duty of the people to exercise their right by selecting and electing their preferred candidate.
