I’ll Challenge Obasanjo’s Return To PDP – Fayose
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State on Wednesday threatened to challenge the re-absorption of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in court, if he decides to rejoin the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor said that, unlike those begging and pleading for him to return to PDP, the former president does not have any electoral value needed in the party.
Stating this in Ado Ekiti when former Governor Sule Lamido visited him to seek support for his presidential aspiration, Fayose urged Nigerians not to vote anybody with military background as president, because they bastardised the country, noting that they are not politicians and their background is undemocratic.
He described Lamido as eminently qualified to be president of Nigeria, adding, “I am among those that would continue to celebrate your contributions to our country. I believe in Fulani people, every tribe has the good and the bad. You are one of the Fulani men that I know have the abilities to perform.
“The military bastardised the system, they destroyed this country, this is why Nigerians should stop voting military men, they are not politicians.
“We lived in this country and grew up to know that everyone from any tribe is our brother, but when the government fails, the nation fails. APC have no capacity to lead our country.
“Some people say APC will rig election, but I tell them, God rules in the affairs of man. Power belongs only to God almighty.
“Whether you call it presidential or vice presidential aspiration, all I know is that you will come to visit me in Aso Rock in 2019,” Fayose vowed.
