APC dismisses Fayoses claim over Fayemis victory
The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has dismissed the claim of former Governor Ayo Fayose that he was responsible for the victory Of Dr. Kayode Fayemi as the governor of the state.
The chairman of the APC in the state, Chief Jide Awe, said this in an interview with our correspondent in his response to the recent claims made by Fayose who recently emerged the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Awe said Fayose was free to say anything but he stated that the former governor who he said was impeached and removed on the allegation of fraud would suffer another heavy defeat in the governorship election.
The chairman said Fayemi who contested on the platform of the defunct Action Congress had won the election of April 14, 2007 before he was denied victory by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Awe said, It is amusing that everybody is claiming to bring Fayemi into power. Talk is cheap, they are free to talk but we know that politician can make empty boast but the ultimate power lies with the electorate.
It is funny that somebody who could not retain himself in power but was chased out of the Government House is now claiming that he brought Fayemi into power.
If wishes were horse beggars would not only ride they would buy as many but we will wait till after the election. His defeat this time will be more than what he suffered when he contested the senatorial election in 2011.
Meanwhile, a group known as Ekiti Good Governance Group has said that former Governor Ayo Fayose will be forced to disown the statement he just made on Fayemi.
The EGGG said this in a statement made available to our correspondent on Sunday by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Taiwo Ojo.
According to EGGG, Fayose who could not make himself a senator in 2011 would not have claimed that he made anyone a governor if he was in touch with the reality of defeat that stares him in the face in the June 21 election.
