Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State on Thursday, publicly declared his presidential ambition, saying he is ready to contest the 2019 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic party (PDP).
Fayose who assured his supporters that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP will takeover power from the Buhari-led government come 2019 said that Nigerians are tired of ‘packaged president’.
The problem with us in Nigeria, is because we have not invested in a president that care about the people. He said although the Vice President of the incumbent government is trying to cover up for his superior but insists the people deserve more than that.
“We are tired of ‘Baba so-pe’ kind of politics, I am not ‘Baba’ I am still young I have the interest of my people at heart.
PDP needs a candidate like me who have penchant for defeating incumbent,
Buhari almost gave up on his ambition of being the president of Nigeria, but whether we like it or not, he is now the president.
Jonathan was a quiet deputy governor and never thought to be President, but God put him there.
Yar’ Adua was sitting at home, when former President Olusegun Obasanjo told me to go and tell him he will be Nigeria’s President, the man said no when I spoke with him in his residence, but God said ‘yes’..so he became president.
He urged that people those in the PDP fold who are criticising his declaration should rather come out and challenge him.
