I’m Not In Leadership Contest—fayose by Nobody: 11:48am On Jul 10, 2014 |
The Ekiti State governor- elect, Mr Ayo Fayose said he was not in leadership tussle with any leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as being insinuated in some quarters. He said rather than engaging in leadership tussle, he would support the party at all levels, to ensure that it reclaimed the south-west part of the country, starting with the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State. Fayose, who spoke at a victory/solidarity rally organised for him by the Ondo State chapter of the party, warned against imposition of candidates as the general elections draw near. He said if the party was desirous of winning election in the country, particularly in the south-west, unpopular candidates should not be imposed on the people. According to him, the party should allow aspirants for elective posts to test their popularity among party members, warning that imposing unpopular aspirants might spell doom for the party. He said: “Ekiti State election will continue to be a reference point in the history of Nigeria, we were able to win because we have the people with us, when they called us different names the people of the state said it is Fayose they want and we were able to do that because we are popular with the people. “I want to charge our leaders to ensure that there is no imposition of candidates because it builds crisis in the party, each time you are imposed, you are working against God as the people you want to impose will be your albatross at the end of the day. “No imposition of candidates, only God makes a man, once a popular candidate is picked, the election will surely be won.” Fayose however expressed his support for the move by the PDP in Ondo State to win back the state in 2015, and also to win the governorship election in 2016. |
