Fayose "I will never leave PDP. I will never beg Buhari".

-


The Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has insisted that he has no reason whatsoever to dump the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, despite its internal crises.
The governor made this affirmation in Osogbo on Tuesday when he paid a visit to the Government House, Osogbo, in company of about 50 dignitaries, including the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Mr. Kola Oluwawole.
The governor said he read on the internet that he was coming to Osogbo to beg Aregbesola to plead with President Muhammadu Buhari not to probe him.

He said, “I have not come here for that; neither have I come to announce my defection from the PDP. I will never leave the PDP for any party. This is my first official visit to any APC state in Nigeria. I am not in Osogbo to ask Aregbesola to help me beg (the President) as being speculated in some quarters. We are all Yoruba, politics is like water; it can flow anywhere.
“I believe in the Yoruba race; the race comes first before the office of the governor. The race is eternal while that of governor is temporal. We must watch today to be guided by tomorrow. I am here for the unity of Yoruba as it affects the Oodua, our progenitor.
“I will remain in the PDP to play the role of the opposition because without opposition in a democracy, there will be dictatorship and those promoting dictatorship in a democracy will end up in the stomach of dictators.”
Fayose stressed that Yoruba people needed to unite irrespective of their political or religious affiliations to ward off blackmail and oppression.

He said, “There is need for Yoruba people to come together irrespective of political parties to protect the interest of the Yoruba man and protect their leaders from being blackmailed or oppressed.
“There is the need for improved economic ties among Yoruba states. Whatever good thing a state is doing can be copied by other states.”
On his part, Aregbesola who lauded Fayose for the visit, stressed the need for state governments to create economic ties that would rescue the people from poverty.

“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” Every once in year there is that special day in the lives of everyone. The day we commemorate our grand entries into the world, that reminds us the day we took our first breaths,the day we began our great sojourn, the day our loving mothers travailed in labour and prevailed. The day our tiny crying voices wiped away every pain of delivery our mothers suffered and brought laughter and happiness to everyone around us. The day we mark our birthdays. You would agree with me that birthdays are considered one of the most important days in a person's life. Little wonder people attach so much relevance to it,(some probably more than others).There are plenty relationships that have been strained because one party forgot the birthday of the other or did not mark it in a way that was expected of them. I do not blame them much, a birthday is special and the celebrant ought to be tre
