Governor Ayodele Fayose has revealed that he was pressured by chieftains of the APC to drop PDP’s candidate, Kolapo Olusola, and assist Kayode Fayemi for the July 14 governorship election within the Ekiti State.
Speaking in an interview in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday, the governor mentioned: “They approached me to barter with them and commerce away the ticket of Olusola to pave the best way for the victory of Fayemi. They cited examples of leaders who've accomplished that earlier than and wished I do the identical.
“But I bluntly told them that I will never do that. If others are doing it, I am not like them. I have integrity, I am Peter the Rock. I am set for another defeat of Fayemi and the APC. After Ekiti, we shall move to higher level in Abuja. They said I am stubborn, I told them I am stubborn because I am a man with principles. Ekiti people know where I stand. I will not betray Ekiti people who love me and my party.”
Fayose stated that his party was set for the election and to file one other resounding victory.
