Opposition protests will make me more popular – Fayose

By -
Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has said the protests against him by opposition and its allies will make him more popular and get sympathy of the people.

Speaking on this month’s edition of his media chat, Meet Your Governor, which was aired by major electronic media, Fayose said anybody that fights him is fighting against God who he said put in the position he occupies.

The governor challenged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to come out with statements from former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd) and former Minister of State (Defence) Musiliu Obanikoro that he collected arms cash from the duo.

Fayose boasted that despite his latest travails, he is still popular among the people of Ekiti.

He accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of using the opportunity of controlling the Federal Government to intimidate him and muzzle the opposition. He quoted some portions in the Bible to substantiate his position that those fighting him are fighting God.

The governor called the APC leaders and other interest groups that trooped out earlier in the day as “people who have no sense and dancing ridiculously before the people” adding that even if they continue their protest everyday for the next one month, it meant nothing to him.

Fayose said: “Is it because APC is now in control of the Federal Government that they are causing this distraction? Those who were in office before me must also be investigated by the EFCC because the petitions to that effect are before them.

“For them, it is war everyday; if it is not government, they will try to bring down the government and that was what they did in 2006. It is only if it was not God that brought me here that will make them to succeed, it was God that made me governor.

“All these useless rallies will be making me more popular; all their rallies against me will make me to get more sympathy from the people. Calling Fayose ole (thief) on the streets means nothing to me and the people.

“You can hold your protest for the next one month, they will only continue to ridicule themselves because Ekiti people have given me their mandate. Those fighting me are fighting God.

“When PDP was controlling Federal Government, they never used the Police or DSS to harass and intimidate people.”
