Governor Fayose stated that PDP
will for the third time defeat APC during the 2018 elections in the State as he
moved to say that the candidates that will be presented by the All Progressives
Congress (APC) will not be able to match that of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP).
The Governor made this known on Sunday
in a statement released through his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, in
Ado-Ekiti as he responded to comments made by former Governor, Olusegun Oni
whilst he spoke about his intentions to run in the 2018 elections.
The statement read,
“Defeating the APC in
governorship elections is not new to me and my party. We defeated them in 2003
and recorded a landslide victory against them in 2014 when their candidate
could not even win his local government. The 2014 victory was very remarkable
because Oni was part of a gang up of three former governors against me and my
party and we won convincingly.
Oni tried unsuccessfully to
rubbish my administration’s giant strides in the state during my first tenure
and the current one. It was during my first term
that we dualised all the roads
leading to Ado-Ekiti, the state capital. We repositioned education and improved
on the state’s performance in public examinations. We are number one in NECO
and among the top in WAEC examinations.
Now, we are not only dualising
roads across 11 local government areas, we have extended the Ado-Ikere Road
dualisation deep into Ikere town. Because the APC and its leaders in Ekiti lack
foresight, they can never ever see anything good in the flyover, new Ojaba Market,
new high court complex, new Governor’s Office and other numerous projects we
are executing.
They are simply dumbfounded that
in spite of the austere times we are in, our administration has been able to
forge ahead with these projects. It is only a leadership that is focused and
know its onions that can place the welfare of majority of people over and above
the welfare of minority.
Oni and his day dreamers should
be reminded that it was the prodigal APC-led administration of 2010 to 2014
that plunged the state into financial crisis by leaving workers’ entitlements
unpaid and borrowing to finance projects it never executed.
What the former APC government failed to do to
improve the living standard of people and workers, we have come to do and it
shows in the support and acceptability of our government by Ekiti people. Let
Oni first secure the ticket of his party and then see if he can test his might
against the will of Ekiti people”
