Former governor Ayo Fayose said yesterday that he would return the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to power in Ekiti State if allowed to fly the party’s flag in the forthcoming governorship polls in the state as his past political records showed that he had the penchant for unseating the incumbent.
Fayose it would be recalled, had defeated former Gov. Niyi Adebayo in the 2003 elections and riding on the back of that historic feat, boasted that he could re-enact same in the June 21 governorship election in the state if given the PDP governorship ticket.
The former governor made this known during a meeting in Ikole Ekiti on Tuesday in furtherance of his governorship aspiration.
If given the ticket, Fayose faces stiff opposition from incumbent Governor Kayode Fayemi of the All Progressive Congress, APC.
Fayose said, “I will not disappoint the PDP if allowed to fly the flag. I have penchant for defeating incumbent governors. I will conquer for you.
“I was the one who disgraced Fayemi’s political godfather (Adebayo) out of office in 2003 and I will still do same to his godson if given the opportunity.
“I want to make an open show of APC in the election. I want to disgrace the party. I had done it before. I have penchant for capturing a sitting governor.
“I am the lion within the PDP that can tame the Leopard in APC”.
He said he would continue to strive hard as a critical stakeholder to unite the PDP in preparation for the coming election in the state.
He said, “Our resolve to fight and win the next election is unshakeable. Our capacity to mobilise our people against this clueless and colourless regime is in our unity and strength.
“The PDP in Ekiti is the only credible alternative that can dislodge the APC”.
