Fayose says Nigerians are tired of APC

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party
Governors ’ Forum, who is also the Governor of
Ekiti State, Mr. Ayo Fayose , says Nigerians are
tired of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
He said that the country was already looking
forward to another change because of the APC ’s
alleged poor handling of the nation ’ s economy.
Fayose spoke in Abuja on Thursday at the
Expanded National Caucus of the PDP.
He appealed to members of the PDP to remain
steadfast and urged them not to be intimidated by
the spate of “ arrests, incarceration, intimidation,
provocation by the party in government . ”
With the dwindling fortunes of Nigerians , he
said, the country was already tired of the APC
and was now yearning for another change .
He said, “The whole country is not only tired of
the ruling party, they want another change . If not
for the constitution , they want the change
tomorrow. ”
Fayose regretted that people did not seem to
learn from the past as he noted that “ the same
party that has been rejected by Nigerians is the
party that people seem to be defecting to. ”
The governor said if the PDP had a few
committed people , it would readily oust the APC
from power in 2019 , adding that “anything that is
built on deception cannot stand the test of time.”
He alleged that this was why the APC had been
fumbling from one mistake to the other.
While rubbishing the anti- corruption fight of the
ruling party, Fayose said, “ Nigerians are tired of
the story of corruption , especially when you find
how people that are fighting corruption are busy
stealing cows and are running after those people
alleged to have stolen squirrel.”
The PDP Governors ’ Forum chairman said his
party would not need a long slogan for the next
election, saying all it needed to do was to remind
Nigerians that “the ruling party has caused
hunger .”
He said it was evident that Nigerians had made a
mistake by voting the APC , but said that
opportunity was coming soon to correct it .
Fayose appealed to party leaders to work
together while those aspiring for offices should
do so with decorum.
He said he would continue to express his mind
and would not even mind if the Federal
Government withdrew his police guards .
“I will continue to leak their secrets. I will remain
a thorn in their flesh. Anything they want to do,
let them come . If they want to carry their police ,
let them carry their police . I don’t care , ” he
