The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, governorship candidate for the July 14 and incumbent deputy governor of
Ekiti State, Prof. Kolapo Olusola has berated President Muhammadu Buhari for
stating that the state will return to the fold of the All Progressives
Congress, APC.
Olusola, who insisted that the
state has rejected Buhari’s brand, challenged the President to cite one
evidence of his government’s patronage to the state.
In a statement issued on his
behalf by spokesperson for his campaign organisation, Lere Olayinka, Olusola
dismissed Buhari’s claim was as a “wishful thinking”.
The PDP’s governorship candidate
stated that it was inconceivable for the state to return to the era of
stagnation and bitterness as it was during the former administration.
Kolapo said it was appalling that
a President, who should be apologizing to Ekiti people and the entire Nigerians
for plunging the country into economic and security crises, was the one talking
about returning Ekiti into the fold of “progressive” states.
The statement reads, “Even in
Isan Ekiti, Fayemi’s hometown, nothing has happened to the Clay Kaolin that is
there in large quantity despite that their son is in charge of solid minerals.
“Funny that the President said
Ekiti must return to the fold of progressive states. Is he talking about the
same so-called progressives states that are sacking workers in their thousands?
Or the APC States where herdsmen are killing people in gruesome manner on daily
basis is that what he wants Ekiti State to join?
“Truly, Ekiti people are well
known for their forthrightness, candour and integrity. They will never subject
themselves to the whim and caprices of a President who looked the other way
when thousands of people were being killed by herdsmen in Benue, Taraba,
Plateau and other states.
“Having returned to the number
one position in education, Ekiti will never go back to that era that it was in
34th position. Teachers will never use their votes to return the state to that
perilous time when their jobs were constantly threatened with Competency Tests and
principals demoted and sent to classrooms as mere classroom teachers.
“Local Government workers in Ekiti State will
not allow a return of Fayemi’s ‘Boko Haram’ that made their lives impossible
for over three years.”
