Ado-Ekiti
Ekiti state Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has reiterated that he had no regrets for supporting the President Goodluck Jonathan for the elections.
The governor said he would remain in the PDP and offer a fierce opposition to the incoming government to be led by Gen. Muhammadu Buhari rather than defect to the ruling party.
“I have decided to put on notice the United Nations (UN) and the African Union (AU) on the imminent reign of impunity by APC as from May 29,” he said.
In a statement he personally signed in Ado Ekiti yesterday, Fayose said he had been severally informed that he could become the prime demolition target of the APC national leadership owing to his overt and unalloyed support for President Goodluck Jonathan during the campaigns.
He pointed out that grapevine sources within APC reliably informed him that the APC leaders were also yet to get over the fact that in the entire South-West, Ekiti was the only state they could not ‘rob’ for Buhari, saying the eagle-eyed surveillance of Ekiti people brought about this feat .
He said: “I wish to declare unequivocally that I remain loyal to President Jonathan even after May 29 as my support for his re-election and administration was not about bread-and-butter. I was convinced he was moving Nigeria in the right direction, despite all the noise. I have no regrets supporting him. If same situation presents itself again, I would do it all over.
“Let me state It clearly that if President Jonathan is deserted by all Nigerians today, I, Ayodele Fayose, would remain with him. I have chosen to be his last-man standing.
“If for this show of loyalty to Mr President and my party, APC, and its leaders believe that the best way to pay me back is to make Ekiti ungovernable, the decision on appropriate reaction belongs to the people, whose mandate I keep in trust.”
