The Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said
Nigerians does not need counselling to reject the ruling All Progressives
Congress during the 2019 general elections. According to him, the abysmal performance of the party has
already
made the people grow weary of the party.
This is just as the governor noted that there was a wide
difference in the tolerance levels of former President Goodluck Jonathan and
the incumbent, Muhammadu Buhari.
Fayose stated this in Ado Ekiti during an interactive
session with some journalists.
A press release by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu
Adelusi, on Wednesday, regretted that under the two years of the APC
government, Buhari had made life worse for the people rather than improving
their lots.
“Nigeria of our dream is not what we see now. All what I
said about President Buhari are coming to pass. Before the polls, I said people
should not vote for him. Nigerians are
hungry and they are regretting. If a nobody contests against Buhari in 2019,
Buhari will lose. Nigerians don’t need counselling to know that they should not
vote Buhari in 2019. It is obvious.
“Majority of those who voted for him never really knew him
as they were mostly in their 40s, people who were toddlers when he ruled
Nigeria as a military man in the 80s. Apart from his military nature, he does
not have what it takes to run Nigeria. His government then was run by (Tunde)
Idiagbon.
“He is also not tolerant. You can’t compare him with Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan accepted defeat in an election he conducted,” he
stated.
On the allegation of corruption against the PDP-led
government, Fayose opined that those making such today would also have their
books scrutinised by those coming after them.
He expressed surprise that former President Olusegun
Obasanjo could also level corruption allegation against the PDP when he spent
eight years as President on the platform of the party which was in power for 16
years.
On whether a mega party would be formed to wrestle power
from the APC, Fayose said time would tell, adding that he remained a committed
and loyal member of the PDP.
