Sen. Ojudu Vows To Chase Fayose Out Of Ekiti

The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, has promised to kick out Governor Ayodele Fayose from Ekiti state when he becomes governor.

The former lawmaker recently declared his intention to run for the state governorship election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ojudu recalled that he chased Fayose out of the state in 2006 and successfully impeached him, adding that he also defeated him to become a senator.

The presidential aide also noted that there is no longer stomach infrastructure in the state, stressing that Civil servants and local government officials have not been paid.

Ojudu told Daily Sun: “If I am a civil servant and you have not paid me in 12 months, what is the stomach infrastructure in that?

“If truly, you are doing stomach infrastructure, you must regularly pay the workers so that they can feed themselves.

“This last Christmas, he didn’t even give them rice as he used to give them. This is a government of deceit, Fayose is just deceiving the people.

“Go around with him now, nobody hails him anywhere again. Since we got into Ekiti, he ran away. We told him ‘we have our billboards in town, come and remove one and let me see you’.

“In 2006, I chased Fayose out of this place. I took all the lawmakers who were members of the PDP to Lagos for two months.

“I kept them there and when I was ready, I brought them back to impeach him. In 2011, he contested against me for Senate, I defeated him. I had 68,000 votes, he had only 21,000 votes.

“So, forget about all these myths he sells to you out there. I am back again and I know I am the one who can chase him out. If there is anybody he fears, it is me. We will take care of him on July 14.

“He is not contesting; but even if he is contesting, I am telling you now that I have defeated him many times over in the past.

“If he was an incumbent and I was not a politician then, yet, I was able to impeach him, how much more now.”
