Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has gone back to his
drawing board to plot his next strategy to keep Ekiti State out of the control
of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) from taking over the state in the
next governorship election.
In an offer to maintain a strategic distance from the
political booby trap that tossed the progression plan of Governor Olusegun
Mimiko into confuse and obscured the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in the
simply finished up Ondo governorship race, Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele
Fayose, indicated Wednesday on the likelihood of utilizing another stage to
arraign his progression fight amid the 2018 governorship contest .
The governor released the clue in Ikere Ekiti while meeting
with the individuals from the Suppliers' Association of Nigeria, Ikere section,
said “I don’t know the platform I will use for the 2018 election yet and at the
appropriate time, I will tell you”.
“We are still studying the situation. We have to play the
game left, right and centre and whoever we are going to use and the platform,
you will all be part of the process because party politics is about the
people”.
Fayose likewise said the triumph of Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu,
the applicant of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in the Saturday's
governorship election in Ondo State does not at all debilitate the prominence
and general adequacy of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Ekiti.
Fayose, who portrayed Akeredolu's triumph at the survey as a
creation of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in cahoot with
APC, included that the triumph the did not give authenticity on the election or
loaned assurance to the way that Ondo electorate had voted appropriately.
He stated that “You all saw how people sold their votes in
Ondo state, I am confident that that will not happen in Ekiti. I am close to
the people you are the source of my strength. Even if it requires just 48 hours
to any election, if I tell you where to go, you will surely follow me there.”
He went further to stress that “APC will be fooling itself
if it thinks it will conquer Ekiti like it did in Ondo . Ekiti is a peculiar
place and I am the man on ground here. I want to assure my supporters and
Nigerians that APC won’t win a local government here in 2018, even if President
Muhammadu Buhari moves down all the money in FG’s TSA.
“Governor Olusegun Mimiko and Eyitayo Jegede must have lost
in Ondo State, but that does not mean the people had voted rightly. In 2015,
people clamoured for change and what have we got now? Nigerians are becoming
poorer than ever.
“Today, I am the only one among the APC governors in the southwest.
I am now like the nation of Israel surrounded by enemies, but I shall defeat
and triumph over them.
“APC has never
defeated me in any battle, either political or legal. Whether they like it or
not, I will win in Ekiti no matter the animosity, because I have the people
behind me.”
