Tragedy was averted on Friday at Ifaki-Ekiti as the podium on which the
Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate in Ekiti State,
Mr. Ayo Fayose, stood to campaign collapsed.
Some of those who were on the podium were Fayose; his wife, Feyisetan;
ex-Deputy Governor; Abiodun Olujimi; Senator Teslim Folarin; Senator Ayo
Arise; a former House of Representatives member, Mr. Duro Faseyi and Prince
Dayo Adeyeye.
A former Governor of Ekiti State, Segun Oni, who this week announced his
decision to work with Governor Kayode Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress,
is an indigene of Ifaki-Ekiti.
The wooden podium caved in as Fayose was addressing the crowd. This led
to a temporary stoppage of activities, but those on the platform stood up again
and Fayose continued with his address.
The PDP governorship candidate boasted that he would win the
governorship election expected to hold on June 21, 2014.
He said that he had the support of the people of the state and that they
had assured him of their support.
Fayose said that he defeated Governor Niyi Adebayo of the Alliance for
Democracy in 2003, adding that he would defeat Adebayo’s godson- Fayemi.
He said, “Defeating Fayemi will be very simple. I defeated, conquered
and subdued Adebayo, who was Fayemi’s godfather in 2003. Defeating Fayemi who
is his godson will be simple. God has given me the power to defeat incumbent
governors.”
The PDP candidate described Oni as a General without an Army. He
said that Oni defected to the ruling party, leaving behind his Lieutenants in
the PDP.
He said, “After October 16, 2010 when Fayemi was pronounced the
governor, he left me in the cooler and I know very soon that he will put Oni in
the cooler too.”
While predicting that Oni would return to the PDP, he said that he would
plead with the leaders of the PDP to grant Oni waivers anytime he chose to
return to the party.
Fayose promised to treat the people of Ifaki-Ekiti well if elected the
governor of the state. He had earlier in his speech challenged Fayemi to
a debate, saying he would teach him lessons on good governance.
Fayose said, “You don’t need to be a PhD holder before you know how to
govern the people. I am ready to teach Fayemi how to govern the people. All you
need to do is to listen to the people and please them.
“I did not borrow a dime in 2003 when I was in government. I even left a
sum of N10.4bn behind when I left in 2006.
“As we speak today, Fayemi who has a PhD has borrowed over N20bn from
the capital market.”
God save you.so you are still going around campaigning. PDP THIEVES.
ReplyDeletewho ar thieves? either u like it or not, FAYOSE is our next gov. continue to perform ur rituals on FAYOSE, it will not work. ki fayewon duro soke ki FAYOSE ta ni roba.
ReplyDeletefayemi is 4 raised to power one, NOT 4+4 at all, FAYOSE WILL WIN
ReplyDeleteFayose goofed in saying leadership is about listening to the people and pleasing them; capital NO! But I don't blame him for not knowing.Leadership is not populism,it's about vision.Fayose may be the choice of pedestrian thinkers who judge by his okada mentality,but Ekiti has gone past that courtesy of a serious,& cerebral brand of leadership.Most of those campaigning for Fayose today are the same ones who let sentiments prevail over reason to foist on Nigeria the most inept govt we've ever had. Imagine him saying he left behind over 10b naira,for where? If he had such,he would have stolen everything.More so,a govt is not judged by how much you saved,but how much development you brought to bear.Anyway,it's only in Nigeria where someone standing trial for murder can go from prison to senate,that an embezzler can also aspire for same office from where he stole,and still stand any chance...Shame on Nigeria.
