2018: I will Defeat APC with
Minimal Efforts, Fayose Boast

Contrary to insinuations by the All Progressives
Congress (APC) that Governor Ayodele Fayose’s
popularity has plummeted and that the
opposition will capture Ekiti State in 2018, the
governor has again boasted that he will defeat
his traducers with minimal efforts.
Fayose said he does not need to engage in
propaganda about his performance in office to
convince the people that he has done well, but
that his work will surely speak for him.
The governor was quoted from an exclusive
interview he granted a Yoruba newspaper,
‘Gudugudu Meje’ in Ado-Ekiti over the last Friday
project, and was quoted as saying, “the people
of the state were keeping records of every leader
that has come to govern them and would never
fall for cheap propaganda and blackmail from
any quarter.”
According to a statement issued by his Chief
Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi , the governor
noted that because of the political sophistication
of the Ekiti people, any elected public office
holder not living up to the expectation of the
people is always rejected at the poll.
He advised his political antagonists to look at the
history of elections in the state and they would
see that Ekiti people always rejected political
pretenders once their antics have been
discovered.
“Our fathers have a saying that you know a lazy
man’s farm by the way he keeps it. Nobody can
hoodwink Ekiti people. They know what they
want and who they want. I will never jump into
the wagon of those whose stock in trade is
propaganda. When they came into office through
the back door, we all saw how they messed up
the whole place.
“The person they took over from didn’t borrow a
kobo, even when he wanted to take a bond of N5
billion from the capital market, they frustrated it.
They came into office, enjoyed a period of huge
statutory allocation and even excess crude
money being shared. And for instance, in the
month of June 2014, they got N4.4 billion as
monthly allocation.
“In spite of all these, they still borrowed N25
billion from the capital market and billions of
naira in commercial loans. They also diverted
over N800 million UBEC fund and yet there was
nothing to show for all the funds. Not done yet,
they thought the back door through which they
came to office was still open and they attempted
another back door entry, but unfortunately for
them, the door has been securely locked.
“People are aware of their tricks and Ekiti people
are now telling them that once beaten twice shy.
Let them go and enter the internet, sleep inside
radio and television stations, their propaganda
has failed woefully.
“I appreciate the workers and the good people of
Ekiti State who know we have brought
transparency to governance and who also
appreciate our efforts at making life better for us
all. They know how much comes to the purse of
the government and they know that it is with
prudent management of resources that we are
doing all the projects we are doing.
“Apart from Ado-Ekiti where we have done roads,
built a women development centre and where
we are building a flyover and a modern market,
we have not forgotten other places. Road
projects are being executed in Ikere, ise, Ikole,
Awo-Epe-Ijero, Iworoko-Iluomoba and many
others. We have dualised the road in Afao,
resuscitated water supply to Aramoko and many
more.
“I will advise my opponents to wait till the
election in 2018 and see what will happen. They
were trounced 16-0 the other time, come 2018,
they will even fail more woefully,” he said.
Fayose then enjoined the people of the state to
continue to support his government, saying he
would also not let them down.

Ride on Fayose.

We don't need the change in Ekiti. Ekiti people are smarter than that. Change is a perfect word used to cajole and sweet-talk the gullible.

Fayose the Future leader of pdp.

Change Nigeria first, APC. B4 thinking of Ekiti state.

Though it's a bit difficult to predict outcome of elections in Nigeria due to its dynamic and murky nature, nonetheless it sounds preposterous for APC to think of wining Ekiti in the nearest future, not with the party's waning and plummeting popularity all over the country.

However, Fayose should step up his developmental strides or else anything can happen.

Taking Ekiti from Fayose, as it stands now, is like taking one of Buhari's cows... impossicant!

Fayose the only hope of Nigeria democracy
