| Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose |
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Friday
in Ado-Ekiti, declared himself as the next President of Nigeria.
The governor – a member of the Peoples Democratic
Party – boasted that he and his party have the attributes to wrest power from
the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress in 2019.
He also boasted that former governors Segun Oni
and Kayode Fayemi would fail if they contest the 2018 governorship election in
the state.
According to him, neither of the two performed to
an admirable level that would make the residents of Ekiti State give them a
second chance like he was given.
The governor spoke at a meeting with political
office holders at the Government House, Ado-Ekiti, where he also inspected
Osoko Political Institute Centre.
He said, “Just because Ayo Fayose has won a
second term to become Governor of Ekiti State, some people also think they can
come back now, but I want to tell them that it is not possible. I am the man
wholeheartedly loved by Ekiti people because of the many developmental projects
that have brought great infrastructural and developmental advancement to Ekiti
State.
“If you go around Ekiti State, you will see my
handiwork dotting every nook and cranny of the state. This is why I am the man
who every Ekiti person will follow in 2018.”
Fayose said he had the penchant for taking powers
from people having defeated two former governors (Niyi Adebayo and Fayemi) in
governorship elections.
“I have a penchant for taking powers; that one in
Buhari’s hand. I will take it. I’m going straight to that (Presidential) Villa.
I’m the next President.
“I want to be the next President of Nigeria. My
own won’t be this change that has brought nothing, we are going to represent
the people well and tell them the truth.”
Fayose said a public rally to celebrate three
years of the election of June 21, 2014, which brought him to office, would hold
next Wednesday, to serve as a show of force to intimidate his opponents.
