I Shall Be Nigeria’s Next President, Whether They Like It Or Not – Gov. Fayose

By Farouk Mohammed

Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has restated his desire to become Nigeria’s next president, insisting that nothing can stop him from achieving it.

In a chat with journalists in Ado-Ekiti on Friday, the governor said whether President Muhammadu Buhari’s APC likes it or not, he would become president in 2019.

He said, “I want to tell you that the APC won’t return to the Villa. We shall defeat both Buhari and Osinbajo, we are removing the two together and I want you to believe this.

“When I talk, people would say I always pose like a Nostradamus, a man who can see tomorrow. Whether they like it or not, I shall be in the Villa in 2019, so my ambition is very much alive.

“In 2003, I started earlier and I defeated Otunba Niyi Adebayo and likewise Dr Kayode Fayemi in 2014

“Our party had ever remained one indissoluble family, which is PDP.

“It was only these impostors that were causing troubles but such had been laid to rest,” he said.
