Ekiti Governor-elect, Mr. Ayo Fayose, has promised to chase the All Progressives Congress out of the South West.
Fayose, who spoke after receiving his Certificate of Return at the
Independent National Electoral Commission’s office in Ado Ekiti on
Thursday, said he would use his position as the new leader of the
Peoples Democratic Party in the South West to achieve this aim.
He received the certificate alongside his deputy, Dr. Kolapo
Eleka, amid cheers from his supporters, who thronged the INEC office.
“God has today, by this certificate, turned me to a leader in the
South West. I will go from here to begin to energise our people from one
state to another until we take back our inheritance,” he said.
Fayose said he had no time to reply anyone who abused him in office
as he was after people’s interest only and would avoid distractions.
“When you are running a race of life, you don’t look right or left.
You must go for the goal and attain it. I am going for the goal like
Awolowo. My target is the common people while I will respect the elite,”
he said.
Fayose said his election would be only for politicians and not technocrats.
He said, “There are many technocrats in the PDP, I won’t bring any
technocrat from anywhere. If you are a technocrat, come back and do
politics with us; suffer like we suffer, when we don’t sleep, you don’t
sleep. Don’t go and stay somewhere and say because you are a doctor, you
are a professor, we should come and give the post of politicians to
you.
“My government will be 100 per cent local politicians. We have
enough graduates, doctors, professors and if we don’t have enough, we
will use some primary school leavers to augment it.
“There will be no commissioner from another place other than the party.”
Fayose said he would not change the way he related with the people
as he would continue to eat roasted plantain and groundnut, and drink
herbal mixture with them.
