Ekiti Governor elect, Ayo Fayose has lambasted outgoing Governor Kayode Fayemi for refusing to communicate with him since he publicly conceded defeat. Fayose says he now believes the concession was a ruse manufactured to attract public sympathy.
“The Governor said I am conceding to defeat. Let me be realistic with you, there is a difference between propaganda and reality.
“I have been calling the Governor since after our meeting but he hasn’t picked the call.
“If you read all papers now, he said I will create local governments before I go; how do you reconcile these things?
“I am not a propagandist, I am a realist. The Governor says he will do employment before he leaves; that means you want to create problem for the incoming government.
“So I see that concession, as good as it may be, we must all be realistic about it, we must not deceive the Nigerian populace.
“Their party said we are still studying the ink used by INEC; it is the Governor that conceded not our party,” Fayose said.
“I respect the Governor; he is our leader, up until the 15th of October, he remains our leader but I want to appeal to APC not to play propaganda with sensitive issues like this.
“If the Governor says I am not going, his party too must make pronouncements, otherwise I do not mind them going to court.
“The court will ask you: ‘it is usually the incumbent that rigs, why would somebody who is not an incumbent now rig and defeat you in your ward’?”
