Ekiti 2018: Fayose Will Be Caged On Election Day – Fayemi

The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Thursday assured the people of Ekiti of adequate security during the July 14 election in the state.

Fayemi urged eligible voters to come out and exercise their civic rights and not to be intimidated by Governor Ayo Fayose’s alleged threats to cause mayhem on election day.

The APC flag bearer declared that governor Fayose would be caged on the day of election as he would only be allowed to vote and go back to his house in Afao.

He said: “We will ensure adequate security for voters on election day because if you are not well protected, the election will not be free, fair, credible, transparent, genuine and acceptable.

“Fayose cannot threaten or intimidate anybody on the day of election. Fayose will only be allowed to cast his vote and go back to his house in Afao.”

Fayemi, who spoke while on a campaign tour to communities in Ido/Osi Local Government Area of the state, said he was on a mission to rescue Ekiti people from poverty, misery, bad governance and put the state on the path of good governance, progress and development.

Communities visited by the APC candidate included Ifaki, Orin, Ora, Aaye, Ifisin, Igbole, Osi, Ido, Ilogbo, Usi and Ayetoro where more Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders and members defected to the APC.

Fayemi was joined at the rallies by the deputy governorship candidate, Chief Bisi Egbeyemi; Ekiti APC Chairman, Chief Olajide Awe; former Minister of State for Works, Prince Dayo Adeyeye; former House of Assembly Speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin; former House of Assembly member, Mrs. Bunmi Oriniowo and a senatorial aspirant, Dr. Olusegun Osinkolu.

He described the July 14 election as a vote for freedom in Ekiti.
