*says APC only thrives on propaganda as the party has no manpower on ground
*notes that PDP will clear the South West including Osun
An insight into the suspicion of most Nigerians on the huge
mismanagement of resources going on in Ekiti State came on Tuesday when
Governor-elect, Ayo Fayose lamented the depletion of Ekiti State
financial resources by the APC.
Fayose said the state government had incurred a lot of debt for his incoming administration.
Fayose said this yesterday in Abuja during his appreciation visit to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat.
The former governor noted that he served as the state governor
between 2003 and 2006 without incurring any debt, adding that he left
N10.4 billion in the states treasury in 2006.
“I left N10.4 billion in the confers of the state today all the wealth has gone,” he said.
Fayose said he would do everything possible to ensure victory for the
PDP in the August 9 governorship election in Osun State and President
Goodluck Jonathan’s reelection in the 2015 general election.
He
said the PDP was more popular than the APC in the South-west, adding
that the APC had no manpower to achieve electoral victory, as the
opposition party thrives on propaganda.
The governor-elect promised to bring back the aggrieved party leaders who had left to work for the victory of the president.
“I will stand up for Jonathan, PDP should embrace people who can win
elections, charlatans are taking over the reigns of leadership because
the righteous are discouraged. We must turn a new leaf, people with
values should not be discouraged, I encourage anyone who has something
good to offer to continue with their mindset, irrespective of propaganda
against them,” he added.
Fayose who was in the company of the
ministerial nominee from the state, Mr. Dayo. Adeyeye, said the PDP’s
consensus arrangements would have defeated him in the primaries if not
for President Jonathan’s intervention.
He noted that the PDP
would win all the states elections in the South-west if it stands
united, saying he lost the 2011 senatorial bid to disaffection within
the party.
“We should stop destroying ourselves, if PDP will
stand together, we will win all elections in the South-west. We will
make Jonathan proud in the South-west, it is rare to get a second
chance, but I thank God I have gotten it, the common man is our
denominator. If you take Jonathan for granted, we will take you for
granted, we will bruise their ego,” Fayose promised.
The
governor-elect said the incoming administration would ensure that all
motorable roads in the state capital are tarred in the first two years
in office.
