Ayo Fayose

Former Ekiti State governor  Chief Ayodele Fayose is among the major contender seeking to unseat  Dr. Kayode Fayemi of the  Action Congress of Nigeria ACN in 2014.

The Afao Ekiti Born politician and businessman  has been making serious moves  since he returned to the Peoples Democratic Party last to  woo people to his  side and  support his ambition to return to the government house.

Dr Fayose  who has been moving from ward to ward in Ekiti has also been holding meeting with   some leaders of the party and beg for forgiveness of sins from  those he might have offended.

 Various  pressure group including  Ekiti Progressive Elite, has  been calling on the  him to contest the governorship election coming up in the state in  2014.

The  Ekiti Progressive Elitegroup, led by Chief Gbade Ademuwagun, rose from a meeting in Ado-Ekiti sometimes ago decalared their unflinching support for Fayose and urge him  to declare his ambition without delay.

Chief Ademuwagun, a retired teacher in Ekiti State,  said that since the departure of Fayose in October 2006, the state had not witnessed meaningful development.

In his words,’’since Fayose was illegally removed from office by some people in October 2006, the state has remained in darkness; nothing is working. Now, the state has been grounded by the ACN-controlled government and only Fayose can bring life back to the state.”

The group stated that most of the infrastructual facilities in the state were started and completed by the administration of Fayose, saying that the Ekiti people were yearning for more.

While some members of the PDP saw his coming as a blessing to the party because of his political influence, some  said that his  return will not do  the party any good but rather cause confusion and  distraction which may make the party to loose  again.

The  former governor who turned 52 years   this week in an interview granted to a National daily  said those he has helped to become  governorn no longer pick his call. He is so sure of winning election as he said that he is going there to correct the  wrongs  but the question on the lips of everybody is can Fayose make it to that seat again? will PDP or any party will want to adopt him as gubernatorial candidate? lets  wait till then.
