SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, (THEWILL) – Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said that he will take power from President Muhammadu Buhari and become the next Nigerian president.
The governor spoke at a meeting with political office holders, on Friday, at the Government House, Ado Ekiti, where he also inspected Osoko Political Institute Centre.
“Just because Ayo Fayose has won a second term to become governor of Ekiti, some people also think they can come back now, but I want to tell them that it is not possible. I am the man wholeheartedly loved by Ekiti people because of the many developmental projects that have brought great infrastructural and developmental advancement to Ekiti.
“If you go around Ekiti, you will see my handiwork dotting every nook and cranny of the state. This is why I am the man who every Ekiti people will follow in 2018.
“I have penchant for taking powers; that one in Buhari’s hand. I will take it. I’m going straight to that villa. I’m the next president.
“I want to be the next president of Nigeria. My own won’t be this change that has brought nothing, we are going to represent the people well and tell them the truth.”
Fayose also boasted that neither of the two ex-governors of the state, Segun Oni, nor Kayode Fayemi, would win if they contest the forthcoming 2018 gubernatorial poll in the state declaring that neither of the two ex-governors has performed to such an admirable level that Ekiti people would give them a second chance like he was given.
THEWILL recalls that Oni had on Wednesday met with leaders of the APC in the state and declared his intention to formally enter the gubernatorial race next month.
Fayose also hinted that a public rally to celebrate three years of his election in June 21, 2014, would be held next Wednesday and would include a procession of all political appointees and supporters of his government adding that he would also be inaugurating an institute of politics, named after his political alias name, Oshoko, to train his party members who would rally and sensitize Ekiti people on the need to continue his legacy by voting a candidate of his choice.
“We are inaugurating this office on Wednesday when we will be celebrating three years of my election in 2014. You would recall that APC said that election was militarised but this time they own the army, INEC police and all that.
“When we disgrace them again with votes, the whole world will know the difference. We will sensitize the whole world. Observers would be here and the world win know who is on ground. I am fully prepared for this election. And very confident that we will win.
“Let me tell you expressly, if money bags politics has worked in other states, it cannot work here. I am an authority here. Before the 2018 elections, you will see the difference between us and the opposition.
“You can measure a man by his body language and his environment. I am the father of their fathers and the husband of their mothers’ husbands in this game. They know me. Some of them who are former governors and are trying to come back because Fayose has come back. There is no harm in trying but they will all fail,” he declared.
