Why I want to be Ekiti state governor again - Fayemi unveils

Dr Kayode Fayemi, All Progressives
Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate
in Saturday election in Ekiti, on
Tuesday, July 10 said he wanted to rule
the state again to eradicate poverty
among the people of Ekiti.
Fayemi, who governed the state
from 2010 to 2014, he told the crowd that
his successor, Gov. Ayodele Fayose
impoverished the citizens by not paying
salaries and pensions.
According to him, Fayose deliberately
deprived civil servants, teachers and
pensioners their eight months’ salaries,
pensions and gratuity, because he
wanted to punish and make them beg
for money on the streets.
He commended Ekiti people for coming
out to welcome President Muhammadu
Buhari contrary to the directives of the
governor that nobody should come out
to welcome the president to the state.
Fayemi, who resigned as Minister of
Solid Mineral and Steel Development to
contest the election, appealed to the
electorate in the state to come out in
massive to vote for him on Saturday...his statement below...
“I am so delighted with your
determination to defy the unpopular
order by Gov. Ayo Fayose that nobody
should come out to welcome President
Muhammadu Buhari to Ekiti.
“It is therefore time to send Fayose and
his unpopular government out of office.
“I want you to vote for me on Saturday
and show Gov. Fayose that the power of
Ekiti people is much greater than his
power,” he said.
