He said, “I only came to Ekiti during Segun Oni PDP-led Government to
commission projects. When you vote Fayose and the PDP returns to Ekiti
again, I will join hands with him to develop this state.” Jonathan, who
admitted that he had not visited the state in a long time because there
were no projects to inaugurate, said he was impressed by the mammoth
crowd that filled the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium in Ado Ekiti, the venue of
the rally.
He said, “We are going to provide adequate security that would
enhance one man, one vote. I am not in Ekiti today to convert you
because by this crowd, you have shown that you are for the PDP. You have
really shown clearly that you want change in Ekiti. You have shown that
you want leadership that will improve your well-being, and level of
education in Ekiti because education is key in this state. We will bring
back the lost glory in the education sector.”
The Chairman Board of Trustees of PDP, Chief Tony Anenih, who
dismissed the All Progressives Congress as a contender for power, said
the party was no match for the ruling party in Nigeria. “We are not
competing with APC because they have nothing to offer. We have come to
offer you hard work, to offer you freedom, to offer you commitment and
success,” he said.
Vice-President Namadi Sambo who thanked the Ekiti people for trooping
out to receive the President and PDP leaders also commended them for
their support to Fayose. He said, “I am aware of the problems of
teachers, the moment he (Fayose) enters, the problem of teachers is
solved. As you know, in this state there is problem of transportation,
the very day he comes in it will be solved.”
Fayose told the crowd, “When I come back, I will give you jobs and do
local content. I left N10.4bn, I recapitalised. They have sold all
these properties. They have taken away our wealth all in the name of
being progressives. They are only retrogressing.”
President Goodluck Jonathan has said he will ensure the development
of Ekiti State if the people of the state vote in the Peoples Democratic
Party governorship candidate, Mr. Ayo Fayose. Jonathan spoke on
Saturday in Ado-Ekiti after Fayose received the official flag from the
national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu.
