The former governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has revealed why the incumbent governor, Ayo Fayose is more desperate than President Goodluck Jonathan.
Speaking in an interview with Punch correspondent, on Thursday, Fayemi disclosed that Fayose is a desperate man who is fighting for his life.
The immediate past governor made the statement in a reaction to the audio tape that revealed how the June 2014, Ekiti state governorship election was allegedly rigged by some politicians and top military officials.
“We are taking all the appropriate constitutional steps to ensure that this does not go unpunished. There are soldiers willing and ready at the appropriate time to testify in court beyond Koli,” he said.
He said Fayose is desperate because he is aware that his sins would return to haunt him, hence his disruptive comments and verbal persecution of the All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.
“I should let you know that. He believes that all his atrocities will come back to haunt him. The judges they have beaten up who cannot talk now, the civil servants they have harassed, the solders, even Gen. Momoh should be pitied because he is a victim, he wants promotion. It takes a very tough person to resist the kind of filthy lucre that these people offer,” Fayemi said.
According to him, Fayose is doing what he is doing; including the lies about General Buhari because he knows that the minute the election takes place and a genuine winner emerges, he is as good as history.
“That is why he is doing what he is doing. He is a desperate man; he is even more desperate than Jonathan. He is fighting for his life. He is one of the apostles of interim government,” Fayemi said.
Meanwhile, despite all the verbal attacks against the major opposition presidential candidate, General Buhari, the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said Fayose is not speaking for the party.
Recall that Fayose, recently criticised the presidential candidate of the APC, General Buhari, alleging that he is too weak to rule the country.
Also, Fayose recently described the outbursts by the APC over the possible removal of the INEC chairman, Prof Jega, as “mere comedy”.
