Ekiti 2018: I Will Contest To Complete My First Term–Fayose

*Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose
said he would contest the 2018
gubernatorial election.

*Fayose said he is contesting so that he
could serve his term which was truncated
in 2006.

* The Supreme Court in 2014 nullified
Fayose's impeachment about seven
months to the end of his first term
Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose on
Monday, May 22, said he would contest the
2018 gubernatorial election so that he
could serve his term which was truncated
in 2006.



Fayose speaking on a live broadcast on Ekiti
State Television in Ado-Ekiti on Monday
evening, explained why he chose to put his
photo on campaign posters,
The governor said that since the apex court
had said that his impeachment in 2006 was
illegal, he would then have to approach the
same court to interpret what that ruling
means and also consider seeking a re-
election in 2018.


He said: “The Continuity poster you see my
image in and which is spreading across the
state can be interpreted in two ways. First
is the need for me to ask the apex court to
explain its 2014 ruling that my so-called
impeachment in 2014 was illegal, null and
void and consider a re-election in 2018 so
that I can complete my term.


“Second is for me to get our own man, one
who is like Ayo Fayose to continue after my
tenure in 2018.”


It would be recalled that Fayose was
impeached in 2006. The Supreme Court in
2014 nullified the impeachment that ousted
him from office about seven months to the
end of his first term.



Earlier Fayose reiterated his desire to dump
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) if
Senator Ali Modu Sheriff wins at the
Supreme Court as part of his strategy for
2018.


In a previous report by BLAZEGIST.us, Fayose
removed the logo and name of PDP from his
campaign office at Olora junction, Adebayo,
Ado-Ekiti.


The one storey building was repainted
white, with every insignia of PDP removed.


Before repainting, the building had Fayose’s
picture embossed on PDP logo with the
inscription: “Fayose Our Leader, Architect of
Modern Ekiti." The billboard, with Fayose’s
portrait, reads: “Ekiti 2018: Support
Continuity, Fayose Leads, We Follow. Again,
It’s Going To Be 16-0.”



BLAZEGIST.us asked Nigerians who they would
vote for between Fayose and President
Muhammadu Buhari and this is what they
had to say:
