Governor Fayose, who is
known to have influenced the emergence of Ali Modu Sheriff as the national
chairman of the party, said Sheriff will continue to preside over the party
till the next general election.
Ayodele Fayose, the Governor
of Ekiti state, says he is qualified to be the running mate of the presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2019.
The two-term governor said
this during the May edition of ‘Meet Your Governor’ his monthly media chat.
“Senator Ali Modu Sheriff
is the PDP chairman and he is going to continue in office. If he gives me the
VP slot, it is a good thing for Ekiti people even though, you cannot set out to
say you want to be VP.
“But you people should not
worry yourself about 2019 because nobody knows who will be alive in 2019 but
mentioning my name for VP is good for Ekiti.
“I am qualified to be VP if
it is the will of God. God is taking me to a higher place, how, I don’t know.”
Fayose said rampaging
herdsmen would meet their waterloo in Ekiti if they dare attack anyone.
“If you bring your cow to
come and eat up my farmland, I will put Gammalin 20 inside the water that they
will drink from. That is what I will do to those destroying our communities and
raping our wives,” he said.
“I heard that 83 cows have
been killed since I made the statement. If you come to Afao and eat up my palm
tree, we have set traps for grass cutters and rodents and the trap will catch
them.
“There is no land for
grazing in Ekiti state. Power to assign land belongs to the governor. Tell them
that there is no land for grazing here because it is my right to sign the
certificate of occupancy.”
