The Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, Chief Godswill Akpabio, has described the presentation of the PDP flag to Ayo fayose as the party’s flag-bearer in the June 21, governorship in Ekiti State as a political movement, which was a sign that the party would win the election.
Akpabio also appealed to Ekiti State people to vote massively for the PDP in the poll, assuring them that their votes would count.
Akpabio, who is also the Akwa Ibom State Governor, spoke in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday during the presentation of the party’s flag to its candidate, Fayose, saying: “What we have seen here today is not a rally, it is a political movement, which has declared clearly that come June 21, our candidate, Ayo Fayose, would be declared winner in a landslide victory.
“We want to assure you that your vote will count.
“We will deploy some of the best Senior Advocates of Nigeria to go with you to court to defend your vote because we can see them going to the court after election.
“We want to assure you again that your vote will be defended and your governor in person of Ayo Fayose presented to you.
“We the PDP family have decided to come down to Ekiti to assure you that your preferred candidate, who is Fayose, will win the governorship election.
“We know we are not contesting with anyone because we haven’t seen any opposition.
“Even if there were to be opposition, with what we have seen today, such a candidate will not even secure up to 10 votes.
“Everyone has seen it.
“Everyone has heard it.
“The people of Ekiti have spoken and they have rejected APC.
“Come 21st June, a tear-rubber governor will emerge in Ayo Fayose.
“I want to tell you that Fayose whispered to us to tell you that even if he didn’t perform well in his previous tenure, he is now ready to bring about uncommom transformation to the good people of Ekiti State.”
Akpabio said he was delighted with the level of attendance by the good people of Ekiti State, who turned out in their number to drum support for the former governor.
Speaking on behalf of the PDP governors, Akpabio assured Ekiti State people that their presence in the state was an indication that come the June 21, Fayose will emerge as the next governor of the state.
