Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti state, says the suit filed
by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) asking a federal high court in Abuja to
stop the All Progressives Congress (APC) convention is laughable and
disappointing.
According to Fayemi, the PDP is afraid of competition and is
looking for a back door into government.
Speaking on Friday in an interview on Arise TV, Fayemi said:
“Frankly, it’s immensely laughable and quite disappointing because all this
shows to Nigerians is that the PDP is afraid of an open competition in an
election that Nigerians are the decision makers.
“They should wait for a real election; they should not look
for a back door to government… that’s what this is about and it’s not going to
go anywhere because we have followed due process; we have followed the
electoral act, we are doing everything in accordance with the law.”
When asked if he would contest for president in 2023, the
Ekiti governor said: “I have a job that I’m doing today. I’m the governor of
Ekiti state and my primary focus is to finish that job well. That is not to
suggest by any stretch of imagination that I do not have what it takes to be
president of Nigeria and I would cross that bridge at an appropriate time.”
