“PDP will take Nigeria out of one chance"-Fayose launches presidential campaign

With about a year to go as governor of Ekiti state, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, on Saturday stormed the non-elective convention of PDP with his presidential election campaign team. He confirmed his intention to contest the presidential election in 2019,when he and his campaign team arrived at the venue of the convention with banners and customized dresses. Fayose, whose governorship tenure ends in October 2018, also dressed in his presidential campaign shirt at the flag-off.

Fayose and his team paraded round the Eagles Square, to the admiration of delegates to the convention. He urged members of the party and supporters to not only work towards, but should begin to congratulate themselves because “re-occupying Aso Rock in 2019 is certain’’. He said that from 2019, he would be attending to the needs of Nigerians from the Presidential Villa, recalling that he had indicated interest in the presidency of the country.

“The crowd here in the convention arena is a testimony of what is happening in Nigeria; the party is now a religion and a belief that we are going back to `our villa’. “I am going there; I don’t know how many of you will be ready to go there. “PDP will take Nigeria out of one chance and give it plenty chances. “We made a mistake but our ability to correct is the one that is important; we fell and we are bound to rise, so, it is time to arise and shine and let your light be seen be men,’’ he said. Fayose added that Nigeria would be liberated from poverty that had set into national life since PDP left office.
