Fayose speaking Out - Gov Fayemi’s concession of defeat a propaganda

THE Ekiti State governor-elect, Mr Ayo Fayose, on Thursday in Abuja, said that the concession of incumbent governor Kayode Fayemi to defeat was a propaganda stunt aimed at eliciting public sympathy.

Fayose told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that although Fayemi at the weekend conceded publicly and congratulated him, the governor had not picked calls from him since then.

"The governor said I am conceding to defeat. Let me be realistic with you, there is a difference between propaganda and reality.

"I have been calling the governor since after our meeting but he hasn’t picked the call.

"If you read all papers now, he said I will create local governments before I go; how do you reconcile these things?

"I am not a propagandist, I am a realist. The governor says he will do employment before he leaves that means you want to create problem for the incoming government.

"So I see that concession, as good as it may be, we must all be realistic about it, we must not deceive the Nigerian populace.

"Their party said we are still studying the ink used by INEC; it is the governor that conceded not our party,” he said. - Tribune
