Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has promised the All
Progressives Congress (APC) a torrid time in the South-West and throughout
Nigeria, saying he will be playing a prominent role in that regard.
The governor made the remark in a press statement today in which he spoke on the political crisis in
Ekiti, where he faces impeachment proceedings on the same job for the second
time in his political career.
He described the APC as being sore over the fact that in all
of the South-West, Ekiti was the only state they could—he said—“not
"rob" for President-Elect Mohammed Buhari (rtd)”.
“I wish to declare unequivocally that I remain loyal to
President Jonathan even after May 29 as my support for his re-election and
administration was not about bread-and-butter,” he said. “I was convinced he was moving Nigeria in the
right direction, despite all the noise. I have no regrets supporting him. If
same situation presents itself again, I would do it all over.”
He asserted that even if President Jonathan were to be
deserted by all Nigerians today, he would not, as he has chosen to be
Jonathan’s last-man standing.
“If for this show of loyalty to Mr President and my party,
APC and its leaders believe that the best way to pay me back is to make Ekiti
ungovernable, the decision on appropriate reaction belongs to the people, whose
mandate I keep in trust,” he said.
