Opposition Protests Will Make Me More Popular – Fayose by Emmysteve(m): 12:21pm On Jul 08, 2016 |
Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has said the
protests against him by opposition and its
allies will make him more popular and get
sympathy of the people.
Speaking on this month’s edition of his
media chat, Meet Your Governor, which was
aired by major electronic media and
monitored by our reporter last night, Fayose
said anybody that fights him is fighting
against God who he said put in the position
he occupies.
The governor challenged the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to
come out with statements from former
National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki
(retd) and former Minister of State (Defence)
Musiliu Obanikoro that he collected arms cash
from the duo.
Fayose boasted that despite his latest
travails, he is still popular among the people
of Ekiti.
He accused the All Progressives Congress
(APC) of using the opportunity of controlling
the Federal Government to intimidate him and
muzzle the opposition. He quoted some
portions in the Bible to substantiate his
position that those fighting him are fighting
God.
The governor called the APC leaders and
other interest groups that trooped out earlier
in the day as “people who have no sense and
dancing ridiculously before the people”
adding that even if they continue their protest
everyday for the next one month, it meant
nothing to him.
Fayose said: “Is it because APC is now in
control of the Federal Government that they
are causing this distraction? Those who were
in office before me must also be investigated
by the EFCC because the petitions to that
effect are before them.
“For them, it is war everyday; if it is not
government, they will try to bring down the
government and that was what they did in
2006. It is only if it was not God that brought
me here that will make them to succeed, it
was God that made me governor.
“All these useless rallies will be making me
more popular; all their rallies against me will
make me to get more sympathy from the
people. Calling Fayose ole (thief) on the
streets means nothing to me and the people.
“You can hold your protest for the next one
month, they will only continue to ridicule
themselves because Ekiti people have given
me their mandate. Those fighting me are
fighting God.
“When PDP was controlling Federal
Government, they never used the Police or
DSS to harass and intimidate people.”

That has always been his end game; to be popular. It has nothing to do with the country or his desire to help put things right. He just needs to be popular and brace for coming elections so that idiots will go and rally behind him just like they rallied behind the stupid bluh bluh bluh at Aso Rock. Then the cycle continues. Shame on politicians! |
