Ayodele Fayose, Governor of Ekiti
State, has vowed that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, cannot stop him from
contesting the 2019 Presidential election.
Speaking during a meeting of
South West governors in Lagos, Fayose said the constitution of the country far
outweighed that of the party.
According to Fayose, “I am not on
my own, I have most Nigerians behind me. Rather, the PDP is on their own.
“I have been well groomed. I am
mature and firebrand enough to face challenges of tomorrow. Things don’t happen
by accident. When the party (PDP) almost fell apart, how many of them did we
see at the time. How many of them spoke at the time.
“If they zoned it to the North,
so because I am not a northerner, then I don’t have a right, the Constitution
does not allow me to contest? Forget that.
“What are you saying? Have you
not seen in this country where a zone has two key offices? We know where the
Speaker is from. During Tambuwal Speakership, the post was zoned to the
southwest but because we lost it, a zone got the two top appointments in the
land.
“It is the Presidency that orders
things. When I become President in 2019, I will reorder those things.
“Nothing can stop me from
contesting. Even if they pick the party’s chairman from my family: even if they
pick my son as party chairman, I will contest.”
