Former Minister of Works and members of the All Progressives Congress, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, has said Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State is a frustrated man who is desperate to hold on to power, even at the expiration of his second term tenure.
Adeyeye said this in a statement on Sunday by the Director of the Prince Adedayo Adeyeye Movement, Niyi Ojo.
The former governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, said recent actions of Fayose pointed to the fact that his recent losses, including the defections of some state lawmakers and his Chief of Staff to the APC, have turned him into a desperate man.
Noting that power was fast slipping away from the governor, Adeyeye said: “Fayose is confused, frustrated and desperate at the moment. His recent actions show that he is not his usual confident and braggart self.
“He recently promoted 46,000 workers in one clean swoop, in order to entice the workers in the state to vote for his anointed candidate. He is not even making any attempt to cover up his tracks.
“He did not even bother to dress it up , from the political gimmick that it is. The act was purely an election gimmick and he is not even bothered about people knowing that it was a political charade. Everybody knew it was a political gimmick. It shows his level of desperation.
“These are workers he has not paid for eight months now and he has been going round to collect and clone their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in the Government House.”
Adeyeye said the people were not deceived, adding that they would vote for the APC governorship candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, who he said had assured that he would reinstate any worker or teacher that may be sacked by Fayose.
