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 said 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,” he said. “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.”

Fayose recalled that in 2003, his predecessor, Mr Niyi Adebayo, also conceded defeat but went ahead to conduct a mass recruitment though he had only six months remaining in his tenure.

“I respect the governor; he is our leader, up until the 15th of October, he remains our leader but I want to appeal to APC not to play propaganda with sensitive issues like this.

“If the governor says I am not going, his party too must make pronouncements otherwise I do not mind them going to court.

“The court will ask you: “it is usually the incumbent that rigs, why would somebody who is not an incumbent now rig and defeat you in your ward”?

He said that none of the APC Senators or House of Representative members, including former governor, Mr Segun Oni, won in their polling booths, not even former Governor Segun Oni.

Fayose, however, commended the incumbent governor for the bold step taken in conceding defeat, though it was meant to induce public sympathy.

He said though he would run an inclusive government he would only work with those who were willing to work with him.

“With due respect, I know APC more than you, I will not shoot myself in the leg before I start so I will rather let us leave it as it is.

“It is our government but we will make sure they have their say; minority will have their say, majority will have their way. We will make sure that there is an environment for them to operate as credible opposition to government.”

Mr. Man, what do you want again. Cry me a river. Is this what Ekiti people has signed up to?
I thought you said you can do it better, so, why the noise, Mr. Fayose? Your assessment starts by 15th of October.

Fayemi = Hypocrite

What else do you people want from Fayemi?

He was actually too quick to concede victory

Fayose understand them very well. APC= Propaganda

A prelude to what you will hear for the next four years; it was Fayemi and APC's fault that he cannot perform all the miracles he promised.

Ogbeni will u shut up? When fayemi had 3 years to conduct recruitment he never did it. Now he has2 months left he wants to flood the job scene with people he cannot pay with state allocation. Local govt that was supposed to have been conducted on Feb 4 2011 but postponed due to court judgment was never done instead he wants to create 18 new local govt. U Apc idiats never think.. can u pay ur fee if ur father gives u 10 naira and the fee is 50 naira? He wants to create more local govt and ensure fayose has huge issues by the way only federal govt has a right, he even changed the state constitution and said LG chairmen will not complete their 3 years tenure according to federal law but now 2 years still u call him a Hero, pathetic.

All this politicians sef...Fayemi conceed say him lose una still dey talk say na propaganda...wetin una want make the man do

The only conclusion I can draw feom this Fayose's statement is that even he finds it hard to believe he won the darn elections.

We will know thw truth about that election someday. In the meantime, goodluck to the Ekiti people...and the rice lasts you 4 years...and I hope for your sake that the Fayose of 2014 is different from the one sacked in 2006.
