Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele
Fayose, has warned former Governor Kayode Fayemi, to stop boasting about the
use of federal might to win the July 14 governorship election.
Fayose stated this in Ado-Ekiti
on Tuesday, when the Muslim Community in the state held a gathering to
appreciate the appointment of one of them, Kazeem Deji Ogunsakin, as the deputy
governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement by the Governor’s
Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, he quoted Fayose as saying that the
choice of Prof. Kolapo Olusola Eleka as the PDP governorship candidate and
Ogunsakin as his deputy, was divine.
“I know that this is God’s
project and cannot fail. Those bragging about one might or the other are only
deceiving themselves. We are firmly on a solid ground with God.
“I have done my part and I want
the Muslim Community to go all about and spread the news. He is a vibrant young
man and with the support of the people we are coasting home to victory come
July 14,” he said.
In his remarks, the Chief Imam of
Ekiti State, who is also the Chairman, League of Imams in Yorubaland including
Delta and Edo States, Sheikh Jamiu Kewulere Bello, said: “The governor made
four promises to the Muslim Community and he has fulfilled three.
“The third one is what we are
witnessing and appreciating today and we know he will fulfil the last one. We
said we will support whoever picks a Muslim as his deputy and we thank God that
Governor Fayose has done us proud. We are happy that the governor values us.
“You will succeed in this enterprise. We still
have much to do and we will not disappoint in that respect,” Bello said.
