Fayose Describes Ekiti Gubber Poll As Charade

Ayodele Fayose

Governor Ayodele Fayose, has described the last Saturday’s governorship election in which Dr.  Kayode John Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won as a political charade.

A statement today, Monday, by his media man, Idowu Adelusi in Ado-Ekiti quoted Governor Fayose as complaining that the will of Ekiti people had been subverted through the use of brutal force.

Fayose condemned a situation whereby the police, army, civil defence and INEC were used to snatch the collective mandate freely given to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Professor Kolapo Olusola and delivering it to the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate which Ekiti people rejected.

“I am Peter Ayodele Fayose, I hold my head high. I can never be suppressed. I don’t lose battles and I will not lose this. I will laugh last. The president should note what the Bible says which applies to him. ”He that wears the armour should not boast as he that removes it.

“It is only Buhari that will pride himself with the security shooting sporadically at polling centres, scaring people to pave the way for the APC thugs to snatch ballot boxes.

“What Buhari has won as referendum from Ekiti people, Nigerians, and international community is shame. If APC has truly won, why is it that there is no jubilation in Ekiti?.

“The victory of Kayode Fayemi is pyricc. We will reclaim the stolen mandate in the court by the power of God,” he said.

Responding to Mallam Garba Shehu, the governor said that being a fair weather friend, he would soon desert his current pay masters.

“Garba Shehu was in the Presidency courtesy Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for eight years and came back for this current dispensation still courtesy Abubakar. “Now, he has abandoned the person who brought him to the limelight. This is not surprising, when he was the President of the Nigerian Guild of Editors during the regime of General Sani Abacha, he wined and dined with the maximum ruler. He would go under the cover of darkness to collect money purportedly for editors, but everybody knew what he did then. Nigerians are waiting to nail him in the end.”
