Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has dismissed insinuations that he is interested in running for the position of President in the 2019 general election.
The governor said he would rather continue to fight for the growth and the development of the country instead of vying for ”even” a senatorial seat.
”I don’t want to contest again, not even for senatorial race in 2019,” he declared.
Fayose stated this when he spoke to journalist in Ado-Ekiti, on Tuesday, at a meeting with the civil servants on grade levels 1-7 in the state’s civil service.
The governor said his biggest concern now is that the people in the state do not ”normally participate in some government policies” where data are collated, which he said affect the state in getting extra grants or favour from the Federal Government and international agencies.
”If they are to register for polio vaccine, our people won’t make themselves available, because of nonchalant attitude.”
”That is why I won’t care to declare more holidays for people to get registered,” the governor said.
