Ekiti State governorship aspirant, Prince Dayo Adeyeye has denied cursing Governor Ayodele Fayose…
Prince Dayo Adeyeye and Governor Ayodele Fayose
“Fayose’s agenda is to do a third term in office by installing Olusola in a bid to perpetually corner Ekiti’s commonwealth. I would have won the PDP governorship primary “if not for the way Fayose intimidated delegates by forcing them to wear aso ebi to the venue.”
Despite monitoring delegates, many of them voted against Olusola which enabled me to garner 771 votes. Fayose had boasted that I would not get up to 50 votes. He was shocked that I got 771 votes which made him to embark on an investigation of those who voted against Olusola.”
“Fayose has wasted N8 billion Ekiti funds on chartered flights in the last three and half years while the flyover project was jerked up from N5 billion to N17 billion.”
“I am leaving the party because it can change but your state cannot change; party can change, your hometown cannot change. I can’t be part of enslavement, I can’t be part of corruption, I can’t be part of those keeping our people in poverty but spend billions of naira on chartered flights to Abuja every year but will be riding okada at home.”
However, Governor Fayose said… “I called Prince Adeyeye twice and on each occasion, he rained curses on me and would not even listen to what I had to say. He said I should never call him again. I am not afraid of the curses because I know I have not done anything to warrant that or for the curses to have any effect on me.”
“By the constitution of our party, I have the right to support anybody for any position, just like I have the right to vote for anybody during elections. I did not hide my preference for my deputy among those seeking to succeed me as governor in our party, so, I was surprised at his reaction.”
“If it was him that I supported for the position, would he have done that? The process through which our candidate emerged followed due process. I did not interfere with the process and I did not manipulate anything in favour of anybody.”
“How many state governors have supported their deputies to aspire to be governors? I have nothing personal against anybody and Olusola has been loyal, effective and committed as my deputy and I cannot repay him in a bad manner.”
