‘Why I Won The Election’ – Fayose Explains
The Governor elect Ayo Fayase explains the reason why he won the election not because he gave out bags of rice, Lol.
In a sit down with some journalists yesterday in Ekiti, the Ekiti
state governor-elect tells how he managed to defeat a sitting governor
“It is the Lord’s doing. I want to recall
that my removal in 2006 remains a mystery to the common man on the
streets but they never left me for a day, they believed in me. I want to
equally let you know that I was left with the people without money,
eight years in the wilderness. My charge to every politician is to
target the poor people. They will not come and ask you for contracts,
all they want is to have their lives improved, to which they believe I
have an answer.
I do things a governor is expected to do.
For me, I am a grassroots man and because of the way I operate with
them, they call me Senior Advocate of the Masses. So, I want to continue
that trend, I want to identify with them continuously. I will not leave
them. So, the strategy is, when you are voted into power, don’t forget
that 4 years is a short time.
Ayo Fayose, 53, was governor of Ekiti from 29 May 2003 to 16 October
2006. He was removed from office by the Obasanjo administration. He fled
the country but returned after Obasanjo left power.
