Ayo Fayose, governor of Ekiti state,
delivered a trifecta of criticism on
Thursday, while overseeing the
Bayelsa primary election of the
Peoples Democratic Party.
Fayose took a swipe at President
Muhammadu Buhari, Adams
Oshiomhole and the All Progressives
Congress.
Speaking on Thursday in Yenagoa,
Fayse yet again criticised Buhari for
his appointment of Amina Zakari, as
chairman of the Independent National
Electoral Commission.
He said: “ I have complained very
clearly about the choice of the INEC
chairperson. Nobody can give us an
INEC chairman that is his daughter
or in-law. This is our Country and
nobody can run out of Nigeria.
“Therefore, we are watching the
INEC and its activities. We will not
allow you to play pranks. This is an
Ijaw state and so they are going
nowhere. This is a PDP controlled
state. No hidden agenda will work in
Bayelsa.”
“In our place, it is one stone that
scatters so many birds. Your
(Dickson) stone will scatter their
birds. I’ve worked with them before. I
know their style and antics. So fear
not.
“I am conducting this PDP primary
in Bayelsa transparently in line with
the PDP guidelines. I am not ready to
dodge out of this stadium to run
away. The truth will stand the test of
time and speak for itself.
“You have won the battle already.
This is not a party where they will do
one primary today and cancel it
tomorrow. In this our own, there will
be no cancellation. This is an
authority in Bayelsa.
“Nigeria respects my voice because I
am not given to frivolities and
propaganda. I am here to conduct an
election that will stand the test of
time.
Speaking of Goodluck Jonathan, he
said: “You gave us the relative peace
we are enjoying. You remain a man
after my heart. I am a governor that
has no apology for supporting you.
Everybody must remember that it is
a virtue to be courageous to defend
the truth.
“Jonathan is a man to be recognised
in the whole world. He conducted an
election that worked against his
interest but he gave it up. Jesus Christ
did exactly the same.”
