The Ekiti State Governor , Mr . Ayodele Fayose , has ruled out the possibility of contesting the senatorial seat in the 2019 general elections.

Clarifying that he will never seek any elective position again , he said his main preoccupation after leaving office would be to continue to agitate for a better Nigeria.


Fayose, however, refused to comment on the health status of President Muhammadu Buhari, when asked by journalists, saying he would watch events as they unfold before making any comment on the issue.

The governor spoke in Ado Ekiti, on Tuesday during a meeting with civil servants on grade levels one to seven in the state civil service.

Fayose, who saluted the workers for their courage and perseverance in the face of economic recession culminating in unstable payment of salaries, urged them to discountenance the rumour that he had received the second tranche of the Paris Club loan refund.

He explained that what the state got so far was N8.8bn, which was shared between the state and local governments, “with over 70 per cent of it expended on the payment of salaries instead of the 50 per cent agreed with the Federal Ministry of Finance.”

He advised the workers to at the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration in the interest of Ekiti.

“I don’t want to contest again, not even for senatorial race in 2019. One thing I have learnt was that, Ekiti people don’t normally participate in some government policies where data are collated. And it used to affect us in getting extra grants or favour from the Federal Government and international agencies.

“The Federal Government is planning to renovate 1,000 health centres in Nigeria and Ekiti got only three. When I enquired, they said the data used to compile the figures didn’t favour Ekiti. If they are to for polio vaccine, our people won’t make themselves available, because of nonchalant attitude

“That is why I won’t care to declare more holidays for people to get ed. But I want to call on INEC to look into the faulty data capturing machines. We have had bad experiences since the commencement of the CVR programme last week and the commission must resolve all these anomalies in the interest of our people.

“I also want to note that all these problems won’t reoccur during the 2018 polls, that is the main reason why INEC, as a commission, must improve on its efficiency,” he said.

Fayose encouraged workers to indicate interest in the Fadama Graduate Unemployed Youth Programme for the training of 300 people in Ekiti that would specialise in commercial farming.

He added that his government was ready to give the necessary impetus to workers that showed interest in agriculture.

Your deliverance from zombiesm would only be complete whenever you accept the fact that Fayose is a man of the people at least in Ekiti. He doesn't need to rig to defeat a combo of Buhari and APC in Ekiti.

Lol

Don't be a fool. That election was rigged. Fowlyose won't even deny it. The only election he won was the defeat of Adeniyi in 2003. Stop talking trash.

He's not your​father. Mind your language.

He's my father. Mind your language.

Fayose na fool

vedaxcool:


Fayose na fool

Like I said he's not alhaji your father...... Mind you you are inciting/precipitating the disturbance of public peace.

Fayose that has already used the Nnamdi Kanu bail issue to form pro-Igbo (where elections are won on sentiments) to position himself for VP in 2019.
Then when 2019 comes he'll say the normal political phrase... "My people beckoned on me to contest and I have to heed their call."
We know the gimmicks already.

That's the wisest thing to do

Ok

Fixed Fayose remains a fool

You must be mistaking him for your father.

..

This is serious

even if fayose didnt actually become d president of dz nation been a govenor alone av already made him a great man ..nd a role model to d younger one ...

He might actually be saying the truth... But then again he might still be lying to the gullible Nigerians.

These politicians ain't loyal. Trust them at your own peril.

He's a coward.

Few moths or days to handover next year, Fayose would leave Nigeria, cos immunity would have expired.

Fayose was not around to formally handover to Segun Oni in 2007. He took off few days to May 29.
