Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state on Wednesday boasted that he would give the All Progressives Congress (APC) a ”resounding defeat” in 2018, 2019 elections.
The governor made this declaration when he was addressing a crowd of supporters at the just ‘opened situation office for the 2018 election’ in the state capital, Ado Ekiti.
”Today, I am here to appreciate all of you and remind you that they said that the 16-0 of 2014 was photochromic and later militarized election.
”This time, they are the owners of INEC, Army, Police, Civil Defence, DSS and others; we should make it expressly clear that despite these machineries in their hands, we can defeat them like we did in 2014, if not more,” he boasted.
On his so called continuity agenda, the governor told his supporters that he is ”in court to seek redress for the coup-d’etat of 2006 by the declaration of State of Emergency by the civilian junta of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.”
”It is my belief that the court that granted me the relief that the impeachment was a nullity will equally restore justice by establishing the fact that I deserve another tenure.
”Nevertheless, whether the continuity is by Ayo Fayose or any member of his political family, it is still continuity, which I have asked you to support,” he said.
