FAYOSE - I DROPPED PRESIDENTIAL BID TO PROTEST EKITI RIGGING

I dropped presidential bid to protest Ekiti rigging said Fayose.

The outgoing Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has explained that he dropped his presidential ambition to protest the alleged rigging of the Ekiti governorship election.

He stated this in Ado Ekiti when the former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, met with the state delegates to ask for their support for his presidential ambition.

Fayose said he was no longer motivated to pursue his dream of becoming the nation’s president since the mandate freely given to his deputy,  Prof Kolapo Olusola, by the people, was allegedly stolen by the All Progressives Congress.

He said, “As a good leader,  I cannot abandon my loyal deputy whose mandate was stolen by the APC and be pursuing another ambition. My posters are there in a room. I am committed to the recovery of the mandate.”
