Governor Ayo
Fayose of Ekiti state has declared that while it remains a fact that the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, lost power after 16 years, the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC, will be voted out after four years, adding that
only a mad man would want to defect into the party presently in power.

Speaking in an
interview , the governor stated that those who think he is planning to join the
APC are daydreamers, asserting that, “It is only a mad man that will say he is
going to APC. It is only a mad man that will say he is going into a house that
is collapsing every day.
“It is a matter
of time; if PDP lost power after 16 years, APC will lose it in four years.
There is no way they can cross that line. There is an implosion in that party.
The only thing holding them together is government and power,” he told the
Punch.
Earlier in the
interview, he stated that anyone who was made relevant by a national leader of
the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, but goes ahead to betray the former Lagos
governor is bringing curses upon himself.
His words, “If
there is anybody that Asiwaju has brought up and made and they want to turn
around and pull him down, they too will pay dearly for it. They know
themselves. Judas knew himself. This is not the beginning; they have been doing
it before now.
“The thing is
just coming into the open. A betrayer will always be a betrayer. I’m not an APC
man and I’m not holding brief for Asiwaju Tinubu. But, I believe in the Yoruba
nation and I believe in our leaders.
“As much as I
believe in Asiwaju, I believe in our PDP leaders too. Don’t forget, even in the
North there are leaders that when they were being maltreated I condemned it. I
don’t hide because the truth is what I stand to represent. And anything that
will take away the honour and dignity of our leader like Asiwaju Tinubu, we
will rise up against it and expose those behind it.
“It is common
in Yoruba land for people who are supposed to watch your back to collude with
external aggressors and destroy their leaders to take such (leadership)
position. It will never work.”
