Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Friday in Ado
Ekiti, declared that he would become the next president of Nigeria.
The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, boasted
that he would oust President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress,
APC, from power in 2019.
His words: “I have penchant for taking powers; that one in
Buhari’s hand. I will take it. I’m going straight to that villa. I’m the next
president.
“I want to be the next president of Nigeria. My own won’t be
this change that has brought nothing, we are going to represent the people well
and tell them the truth.”
Meanwhile, Fayose has said that irrespective of the outcome
of the forthcoming Supreme Court ruling on the leadership crisis rocking the
PDP, members will remain united.
Fayose said all stakeholders had resolved that the
anticipated judgement of the Apex Court will be considered as a ‘No Victor, No
vanquished’ position.
He stated this while speaking at the sidelines of a meeting
of the PDP Governors’ Forum (PDPGF) held at Ekiti Government Lodge.
