Dr. Kayode Fayemi, former governor of Ekiti state has said the Peoples Democratic Party is only seeking to return to power in 2019 so as to resume looting the treasury as done in the past.
Dr Fayemi currently the minister of mines and steel development stated this while addressing some journalists in his home town of Isan Ekiti in the Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
“What the PDP wants is to come back to do is stealing. The option for Nigerians in 2019 is not to return to the old age of criminalization and brigandage by not voting for the PDP, because there is nothing to convince Nigerians that they have changed with the shenanigans that characterized their national convention and the poor performances by their governors.
“Up till now, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan (former President) and his henchmen have not apologized about how they ran the country aground. So, there is nothing to suggest that the PDP remains a credible alternative to the APC in 2019.”
Fayemi said the Judicial Commission of Inquiry that recently indicted him was raised by Governor Ayodele Fayose to smear his reputation and make him unpopular.
He said, “Fayose’s stock in trade is lying against someone to score political gains. They started with the probe of N852m UBEC fund and when they knew they could not go far, they started concocting lies and said I looted N17bn.
“Let us wait and see who will go to jail between Fayose and I. I have been out of office and I am still moving free, but I am sure he won’t be able to walk free on the streets after losing immunity because of the way he had run the state aground.”
