Controversial Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, is in the news again for election matters.
The no 1 citizen of Ekiti State, who has been doling out front page adverts in several national newspapers in support of President Goodluck Jonathan in the forth-coming March 28th presidential election, seem not to be deterred by criticisms that has trailed his past actions.
The Governor who recently expressed his worry that Tinubu and his cabal were pushing General Buhari too much because of their selfish interests, has started a new campaign advert on his obviously favourite newspaper, The Sun.
The advert which surfaced on the front page of the Orji Uzor-Kalu-owned newspaper today, had the words “Dear Nigerians, Good News! The month of Febuhari is GONE! Now, we are in March For Goodluck”
In an apparent referral to Buhari’s supposed health challenges, the advert then concluded with the words, “Vote for a young and healthy and energetic Goodluck Jonathan”.
Fayose has been at the forefront of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) opposition of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential aspiration. He has constantly being putting out adverts castigating the former military head of state and at one point, opined that he might die in office if elected.
To his credit, this latest advert has no malice, and one can only hope he continues this way.
It will be recalled that opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC), recently sounded a warning to the incumbent Governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose, on his role in the recent “blackmail” of the party’s Presidential candidate in the forthcoming elections, General Muhammadu Buhari.
Meanwhile, there are reports that major stakeholders of the PDP will alienate themselves from the controversy over the Ekiti rigging tape in which some senior members of the party were heard planning how to rig the governorship election held in the state on June 16 last year.
