I have unfinished business in Ekiti Govt House – Kayode Fayemi

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has told a crowd at a rally in Ado Ekiti the reason why he is vying for the position of the governor of the state and according to the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, he has unfinished business in the government house.

At a declaration ceremony attended by a mammoth crowd on Saturday in Ado Ekiti,Fayemi said he had an unfinished business in the government house.

Making a mockery of the Peoples Democratic Party, Fayemi said the party should expect another transparent, free and fair election like the one it conducted and won by its then candidate, Governor Ayodele Fayose.

One Sgt. Saghir Koli had revealed how the election was manipulated by the Nigerian Army in connivance with two former ministers: Musiliu Obanikoro and Abdul-Jelil Adesiyan in favour of Fayose – the then candidate of the PDP.

Fayemi said: “You remember the June 21, 2014 election which was transparent, this time around, we will have a transparent, free and fair election, genuine and authentic election.

“They said the June 21 governorship poll is free, fair and credible, so that of July 14 will be free, fair and transparent as well. They will accuse us of so many things. They will accuse us of using federal might, but we will not care.

“They have been saying we want to use federal might, whether it is bottom power, middle level or top power all I know is power belongs to God and he gives it to whoever he gives.”

Kayode Fayemi was first received at the APC secretariat in Ajilosun by the state executives led by the Deputy Chairman, Mrs. Kemi Olaleye, before proceeding to a mega rally to address his supporters

The event led to a traffic jam at the ever busy Ado-Ikere-Akure road.

The Minister became the number 37 aspirant that has declared interest for the seat in APC.

A senior member of Atiku’s legal team, Chief Chris Uche (SAN), told reporters that they considered it strange that as at
