POLITICS: "APC RENEGE ON THEIR AGREEMENT WITH ME" ~~FAYOSE

•Warns INEC To Stop Selling Peoples Mandate To The Highest Bidder.
Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose has stated the ruling All progressive congress(APC) reneged on their agreement with him to be a senator during the Kayode Fayemi era as governor.
He said this during the launching of a Compendium of Newspaper Reports from 2006-2014 put together by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi and Adekunle Adeniyi at the 2nd Year Anniversary Dinner of his tenure held at Lady Jibowu Hall


of the Government House on Saturday.
The book which beams its searchlight on the governor's life in and out of office is titled "Trials Travails and Triumph of Ayo Fayose".
He said he contested against former governor Kayode Fayemi because he did not keep to the agreement he had with him and his party.
''If Fayemi, the former governor had done well and had been fair to people like me, at the age of 55, there won't be a reason for me to say I want to be a governor again. Naturally, this governorship is for young people because you need a lot of energy to run around. The failure of one is the promotion of the other. Because if Fayemi had treated me well as agreed (I would not have contested against him).
They denied that I had an agreement with them to go to the Senate. When I contested for the Senate, they manipulated the election. They said I collected money from Asiwaju, that they had paid me off. I kept quiet and persevered. I kept praying. There was a time I went to Fayemi's office; I was walked out , an office that I built."
"Well, that is history now because even if I had issues with him, God has rewarded me. He is a diligent rewarder of those that put faith in him. I'm satisfied. I have no issues again with him. He is one-time governor of this state and I will be an ex-governor at some point. I appreciate God for giving me a second chance to be able to put in the best and have my name written in history positively.''
He also sound a note of warning to the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) to stop selling peoples mandate to the highest bidder.
He said, "Somebody approached me and told me that if I wanted to win an election, he knew how to do it in INEC. When he finished talking, he asked me to help his children. I told him no. That is why you see people dying mysteriously because they have perverted the journey for some people. They cause pains and sorrow for people."
"INEC should allow Nigerians to make their choice. Candidates and political parties should contest an election against one another– not against INEC".
He however said the electoral body cannot rig election of his state because his "street wise"
"No way. I'm street-wise. When we start the game, the Independent National Electoral Commission that is trying to manipulate elections will know there is a street boy in Ekiti State."
