Ayo Fayose, the Governor of Ekiti State, has expressed his determination to work hard towards the victory of President Goodluck Jonathan in the February 14 presidential elections.
According to the governor, his “loyalty” to the president is a determinant factor in his willingness to see the president emerge victorious in the polls.
Fayose made the comments in Emure Ekiti at the flag-off of the campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party’s House of Assembly and National Assembly candidates in Ekiti South senatorial district, at the palace of the Elemure of Emure Ekiti, Oba Emmanuel Adebayo.
He said, “What I believe in my life is absolute loyalty and that is my own philosophy about politics. It is either I am for you or I am against you. President Goodluck Jonathan supported me when I was contesting and this is a payback time. We have to support him because it was God that brought him into power.”
“Apart from the fact that President Jonathan has done his best for Nigeria, presidency is a very powerful position that needed a humble personality like Jonathan to superintend over. So Ekiti must stand up for Jonathan and I want to assure you, he will not forget you.”
Fayose also implored all disgruntled aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party to forget their grievances and collectively work for the good of the party.
Speaking further, the governor added: “When I was in opposition, I defeated an incumbent governor in all the 16 local government areas. I know it is going to be an easy ride now that we are in government. By the grace of God and the support of the people, I won’t lose any slot in the state House of Assembly and National Assembly elections.”
Different people express support GEJ the ways they know how. Those with the means to go all out, buy front space pages and splash content as they please. Fayose isn’t the brightest of the bunch but his motives are clear. basically, its the same message; GEJ FOR PRESIDENT
