Ekiti Election: Fayose Finally Breaks Silence After PDP’s Loss

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has finally reacted to his deputy’s loss at the just held governorship election in the state on Saturday.

Governor Fayose had maintained mutism after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced that the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Kayode Fayemi, defeated his anointed PDP candidate at the poll.

According to INEC, Mr Fayemi “fulfilled requirements of the law and got the highest votes” of 197, 459 to defeat Olusola-Eleka of the PDP, who it said polled 178,121 votes.

Reacting however to Fayemi’s emergence as the winner of the Ekiti Election, Fayose said in a series of tweets on Monday:

“On this Ekiti election, President Buhari demonstrated truly that he is not a democrat, but a dictator and fascist per excellence.

“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.

“The President should bury his head in shame for using the police, army, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and INEC to snatch the mandate given to Olusola and deliver it to Fayemi “whom Ekiti people rejected.”

“What Buhari won as referendum from Ekiti people, Nigerians, and international community is shame, big shame.

“If APC truly won, why was it that there was no jubilation in Ekiti ? That victory of Kayode Fayemi is pyrrhic, we will reclaim the stolen mandate in the court by the power of God.

“As for me, I am Peter Ayodele Fayose , I hold with my head high. I can never be suppressed. I don’t lose battles and I will not lose this. By the power of God, 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.’ May God rescue our country.”

“On Garba Shehu, that fellow is not to be accorded any attention. Being a fair weather friend, he would soon desert his current pay masters.

“Garba Shehu was in the Presidency courtesy 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.”
