Fayose Stuns PDP, Discloses Plans To Defect To Another Party by ExAngel007(f): 5:11pm On Nov 30, 2016
Fayose says he may contest under another political platform
in the Ekiti 2018 gubernatorial election.


Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has hinted that he
might dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for another
party during the 2018 governorship poll in the state.



Fayose disclosed this on Wednesday, November 30, when
he met with the members of the Suppliers’ Association of
Nigeria, Ikere chapter.


Speaking on the backdrop of the recent election in Ondo state
which PDP lost, the governor said he is unsure of the political
platform he will use for the 2018 election.


He said he will make his decision known at the appropriate
time.


“We are still studying the situation. We have to play the
game left, right and centre and whoever we are going to use
and the platform, you will all be part of the process because
party politics is about the people,” he said.


According to Vanguard, Fayose also said the victory of Mr.
Rotimi Akeredolu, the candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the Ondo governorship poll does not in
any way threaten the popularity and general acceptability of
the PDP in Ekiti.


He faulted the victory of Akeredolu as a contrivance of the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in cahoot
with APC.


“You all saw how people sold their votes in Ondo state, I am
confident that that will not happen in Ekiti. I am close to the
people you are the source of my strength. Even if it requires
just 48 hours to any election, if I tell you where to go, you
will surely follow me there,” he said.


At a separate meeting with the junior staff of the state civil
service, Fayose boasted that he will repeat the 16-0 he meted
out to Ex-governor Kayode Fayemi in 2014, where he
defeated the incumbent in all the sixteen local governments.


He promised the workers that he will do his best in ensuring
the regular payment of their salaries by carrying the workers
along to know what accrues to the state from the federation
account.


Fayose said: “APC will be fooling itself if it thinks it will
conquer Ekiti like it did in Ondo . Ekiti is a peculiar place and I
am the man on ground here. I want to assure my
supporters and Nigerians that APC won’t win a local
government here in 2018, even if President Muhammadu
Buhari moves down all the money in FG’s TSA.

“Governor Olusegun Mimiko and Eyitayo Jegede must have
lost in Ondo State, but that does not mean the people had
voted rightly. In 2015, people clamoured for change and
what have we got now? Nigerians are becoming poorer than
ever.


“Today, I am the only one among the APC governors in the
southwest. I am now like the nation of Israel surrounded by
enemies, but I shall defeat and triumph over them.
