Victor Ogunje in Ado Ekiti
 
A  member of the seventh House of Representatives,  Hon. Bamidele Faparusi, has said the people of Ekiti State must  rise from their slumber and brace up to be able to  dislodge the Peoples Democratic
Party(PDP) to witness good governance after Governor Ayodele Fayose’s tenure .
 
The governorship aspirant and All Progressives Congress(APC) chieftain, accused Fayose of debasing the state in all facets through beggarly policy called ‘stomach infrastructure’, saying the time for change and rebranding  of the state shouldn’t extend  beyond 2018.
 
He spoke in Ode Ekiti in Gbonyin local government area of the State on Thursday while distributing rice to members of the party across the 177 wards and other Ekiti citizens in celebration of the Christmas and
new year festivities.
 
The former lawmaker, who  distributed over 1,000 bags of rice, described  the gesture as an attempt to palliate the sufferings of the populace during this time when Fayose’s  government  has not been paying salaries regularly.
 
Faparusi said it would be a collective responsibility of all Ekiti indigenes, both at home and in the diaspora to reject Fayose’s stooge and anointed candidate in the coming election, Prof Kolapo Olusola.
 
He regretted that Fayose had succeeded in rubbishing the image of Ekiti populace, fondly respected for their academic prowess and attainments globally through his ungubernatorial conducts and utterances.
 
“Ekiti deserves to have good governance again after Fayose’s ignoble era . We can’t afford to remain perpetually in darkness  in a state that is widely venerated as  Fountain of Knowledge with  vast human resources  , even the best in Nigeria.
 
“With the way things are, the good governance can only be assured through APC, because Fayose’s preferred candidate , Prof Olusola had promised that he would sustain the programmes of his boss, which signposted  that he won’t operate beyond the pedestrian level as we are witnessing in Ekiti today.
 
“When APC takes over power in 2018, we shall complement Buhari's anti-graft war and also institute projects that will give the state a facelift in all facets. We shall embark on aggressive youth employment, infrastructure , agriculture revolution, education for all and other programmes that will touch on the lives of our people.
 
“Today, all Fayose is thinking of  was  stomach infrastructure, where people get peanuts in forms of cooked rice, indomie among other demeaning delicacies .
 
“We are appealing to the consciousness of our people to wake up and vote wisely in 2018. The coming year is a year of liberation, I mean political liberation where we have to get rid of a government that was fashioned to favour only Fayose’s  family at the expense of other Ekiti people”, he said.
 
Faparusi said he would continue to support his party men and women to be able to stand as a vibrant opposition to the PDP government  that is taking Ekiti to the precipice for possible crash, except concerted efforts are taken to salvage the situation.
 
The APC chieftain called on the aspirants not to be disillusioned by Fayose’s tirade and blackmail against the opposition, assuring that a day of reckoning will soon beckon who those he described as  “the enemies of the people and plunderers of the  people’s commonwealth”.
