Fayose speaking today in Abuja
The
chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum, Ayodele
Fayose, who declared his interest to contest the 2019 presidential
election, has boasted that he'll defeat Presdent Buhari. While speaking at a ceremony where he declared his interest
to contest the 2019 presidential election in Abuja on Thursday, the
governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, said having defeated two
incumbents in his state, he is sure of defeating President Muhammadu
Buhari with the support of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Boasting further, the influential politician, also said as
Nigeria’s longest-serving governor and having worked under former
presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan and now Buhari, he
has what it takes to emerge Nigeria’s next president.
He said; “My party leaders, standing before you is Peter (The
Rock) Ayodele Fayose, the man already destined by God to take Nigeria
out of the present political and economic stagnation.
“I do not stand before Nigerians today to present myself as one
with the answers to all our national questions. Rather, I present
myself as one with the required knowledge, understanding, competence
and, above all, the political will to coordinate the human and material
resources that we have in abundance to achieve national greatness.
“Twice, I defeated incumbents to become the governor of Ekiti
state and I am confident that with your support as my party leaders and
supporters, I will defeat the incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari, in a
free and fair election.”
He took a swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC) government, saying “like they lied to win election, the government of Buhari has been deceitful for over two years”.
Fayose promised that not only will Nigeria’s economy be revived
under him through diversification to agriculture, there will also be “adequate supply of power and massive industrialization, thereby creating employment for our youth”.
He said: “With me as your president, you can be rest assured of
a government that will be responsive to your needs. You are guaranteed a
federal government that will relate with all Nigerians not on the basis
of ethnicity, religion, political affiliations and the percentage of
votes but on equity and justice as citizens of one nation, one people,
and one destiny.”
