EKITI — Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, weekend, described the fielding of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last election as a miscalculation by the party.

This came as Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara also, yesterday, declared that the Boko Haram insurgency would have destroyed Nigeria, if the former President had remained in power, asserting that the defeat of the PDP administration saved the nation from imminent collapse.

Fayose, who disclosed this in an interview, said the defeat could have been averted had the party fielded a northern candidate.

He said: “We lost the election because we did not pick our candidate from the north, not because Jonathan as a person was bad. It was just a political miscalculation. The fact is that my former President, I chose my word, my former President, Goodluck Jonathan, tried his best.


Ayodele Fayose
“But if I were him, I would not have contested at all, you understand? Because it is two ways: If he did not contest and the PDP lost out, he will still be an honourable man, and if he had given that opportunity to the north, those who defected from the PDP would not have defected.

“But that is story. Jonathan did his best and I will still continue to support him. You know I was not there when they took the decision about him becoming the flag-bearer, but it doesn’t matter. We can’t all put our mouth inside the soil. Somebody must remain with somebody. I will remain with Jonathan, even if I am the only man standing.

“A man is not measured by the amount of food he has and the amount of properties he owns. Sometimes sickness is good, it reshapes your life. Sometimes poverty is good, it helps your life. Sometimes failure makes you to reorder your life. It is not the end of your life.”

The lousy goat eyes go soon clear. The donkey was all over the place insulting BUHARI before the election, now he's telling us why the candidate he campaigned for wasn't the right choice and the party shouldn't have picked him.

Doesn't this amount to Freudian slip? Fayose is a lunatic!

nawa ooh....so just northerners have better chances of winning a presidential election..There z God ooh..
isoryt..
Watching una in 3D

more confessions to come. Thése guys probably contributed to pdp's loss at the polls.

I thought this man is to staunch a supporter to say that.

But he ended the interview on a lighter note

he was just playing with words. The message is sent already and we understand.

I hope Ekiti's development is getting Fayose's attention just as much as national issues are. They should move on from GEJ's loss.

watch as zombies will full this thread rejoicing





smh

Fayose the guyman...speaking with both sides of his mouth....sooner or later u will find means to stylishly praise buhari...the spokesman of yorubaland

kodded:

smh

Lols

smh

I don't know who are the zombies, maybe they are in pdp . But one thing I know is that I'm happy this is coming from your unstable hero and role model.

The hero of Wailers has backslided. this is clear that this guy is mentally unstable

oh

Fayose stylishly admitting that Jonathan was the worst Nigeria had. A good leader will always supported by the masses to continue no matter how long he has ruled before or where he is from. What happened to Jonathan especially PDP is an example of the voice of the masses retaliating when taken for a fool too long or pushed to the world.

“A man is not measured by the amount of food he has and the amount of properties he owns. Sometimes sickness is good, it reshapes your life. Sometimes poverty is good, it helps your life. Sometimes failure makes you to reorder your life. It is not the end of your life.”

That moment Fayose forgets to take his 'Oshogbo weed'. #regainshissenses

Imagine after collecting Billions of Naira from Jonathan

This type of Fayose madness is called END TIME MADNESS.

Good morning. At the moment, NO Nigerian politician can be or has ever been my MENTOR; I'm just beginning to pay more attention to Senator Ben Murray Bruce for his common sense talks....It takes a lot for someone to become a mentor to ME.

At Topic: Fayose only spoke from a political angle. He spoke as someone who really never wanted the PDP to have lost the last elections....including the PDP fielding a Northern President. Politicians reason very differently than the average masses; they've seen certain variables that will remain unseen by the general public.

At the moment, NOTHING can rewrite the history. The APC has the opportunity to perform and shame the woeful performance from the PDP last 16 years.

And yet you collected his (our Dollars) from him.



In a sane nation this man does not worth being a councillor.

Kingsolex1, dearpreye couldn't have crafted what I had in mind any better.

Fayose is about to make an 180....


Countdown start now...........







@ dearpreye ..

You believe Fayose is being sincere?

Are we now to assume that voting for a northerner is the only way to go? irrespective of prospects & visible results?

Nigerians are tribal bigots, Fayose knows this hence his opinion

Jonathan was indeed a mistake for Nigeria.

Dearpreye, amongst people I follow on nairaland u are on the few on my list why cause u reason maturely, u ingest information even if against ur person b4 giving a sound and gentle reply I applaud you for not letting me down on that, on the said mentor/model I tender my reserved apologies I only wanted to draw ur attention to this article. Good morning.

My dear, I don't take politicians too seriously. They're a problem to the world as a whole.

But I doubt if Fayose will make any such turn. It will be the most ridiculous actions of all time......but never say never......Fayose is needed to keep the APC on its toes. He remains a blessing to our polity.
