Gov. Fayose On Channels, Says Jonathan Shouldn't Have Contested 2015 General Elections, Talks On Being VP And Many More
Says:
- Bode George is a retired politician
- APC will lose 2019 general elections
THE governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose says former president Goodluck Jonathan should not have participated in the 2015 presidential election.
Gov. Ayo Fayose Speaking on Channels Television programme, Politics Today, the outspoken governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has said that former president, Goodluck Jonathan should not have participated in the 2015 presidential election.
Though Fayose was one of the main supporters of the ex-president in the build up to the election, the governorsaid those who sang to Jonathan to run did not allow him get back home, after the defeat, before saying they had retired from politics, adding that the elders of the PDP must take the back seat for condemning the party to a presidential loss in 2015.
“I am an ardent supporter of former President GoodluckJonathan, I love him, I would continue to defend his cause, I would continue to stand up for him, because hedid well.
“In my opinion, the only thing Jonathan did that I keep saying, that I hardly want to say, is that if I were him I wouldn’t have contested.
“The people that went to tell Jonathan, that convinced him to run, making him to understand that at 58, when he would be done, how would a young man be 58 and say I’m done with presidency, they were the first set of people who said we have retired from politics.
“They didn’t even allow him to get home, before they said that. All leaders are coming out today to say they want to rebuild. Rebuild what? What you destroyed? You don’t have capacity to do it,” he said.
“Chief Bode George is interested in the chairmanship ofthe party. I have a lot of respect for Chief Bode George, he’s our leader.
But when we come to the nitty gritty, we must find out the motive.“Chief Bode George told me personally that he wanted to be chairman of the party. I told him no, ‘I won’t support you’.
With all due respect to the elderly people in this party; they must take the back stage. People are tired of seeing the same old faces.
“I have been hearing Ahmadu Ali since 1976, when we sang Ali must go. Chief Bode George was governor of Ondo state almost 40 years ago.
They are our leaders, we love them, but they should take the back stage.”
When asked if he would support Sheriff for president, Fayose said: “I take exception to that. How would he come out and say he wants to be president? Where? Don’t ask me questions based on packaging of opposition saying Fayose wants to be vice president.
“If I want to be vice president of Nigeria, I would show interest legitimately. I’m a young man, it’s quite deserving, even people mentioning my name gladdens my heart.
“But let me tell you if Ali Modu Sheriff comes out to do anything on the contrary, in boldness, I will come out and talk against him.
I’m a very blunt person. Sheriff should follow our rules.“Then you’re talking of presidency, would he go and steal it? You want to be the referee; you want to change goal post? No, it’s not going to work.
Expressly, I would not be part of anything. How would it do it? Mentioning my name that I want to be vice president is cheap blackmail.”
When asked further if he is serious about not being vice-president, he replied: “If an opportunity comes, I won’t run away o.
You don’t contest for the office of thevice president, you’re chosen. You don’t show interest for it, my deputy didn’t show me interest, I picked him.
Atiku didn’t contest, Obasanjo picked him.”
Let me explain something to you; it is not what the opposition did before 2015, that made them win, it is what the party in power failed to do.
“When the party in government fails to provide fuel; queues are back, trimming their promises.
The exchange, average men can no longer do things, businesses are dead. You can’t import anymore.
“You can’t pay fees of your children, light is becoming unbearable, herdsmen are killing people on a daily basis. Things are not working for Nigerians now.
We are at the lowest ebb of our lives.“I was a young man of 24 when Buhari was head of state, the same attitude between 1984 and 1985 is what is happening today.
The reason why they took government from him at that time is still playing out today.”

My Political Stand, Putting The Record Straight
Of resent I have been receiving series of mails cum comments about some of my posts from my visitors and readers.
I think it is pertinent to address the issue once and for all. As you all know that my blog is primarily for political updates and news.
For record, I'm not a card-carrying member of any party in Nigeria but I'm an unrepented believer in Nigerian project.
I can't shy away from the fact that over 80% of fellow bloggers blog based on their political interest. But for me, I only want a country that we will all be proud of.
Also to contribute my quota to the nation’s development by putting the government at all levels on its toes, using my platform.
Since I was young, I have been very passionate about how the country is being run by people that have little or no interest of the masses at heart.
But what I discovered that has been the bane of the country’s underdevelopment can be said to be 'apathy'.
Incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari got his ticket to Aso Villa with only 14 millions votes against Goodluck Jonathan that had 12 million votes.
If you add the two together, you will realise 26 million. The last population was said to be roughly 160 million.
This implies that only 16.26% decided the fate of the country. What a shame!!
Some give me a pat at the back if I lampoon Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), due to mind-boggling corruption recorded during their reign in the saddle of the country.
I receive similar treatment if I call out the present ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) based on its 'SNAILish' approaches to issues.
I want all my readers to know that I'm apolitical and my analysis are always preposterous.
I appreciate any move that tends to move the nation forward. I only criticise anti-masses polices not personalities.
God bless

Ben Murray-Bruce Condemns Government Sponsored Weddings
This he made known using his Twitter account @benmurraybruce:
He posited that, the money that is wasted on sponsoring these weddings should be diverted on sponsoring free education,and which in turn will make them financially independent.No state should have to sponsor weddings. Sponsor free education and your citizens will be able to sponsor their weddings and pay you tax!— Ben Murray-Bruce (@benmurraybruce) April 30, 2016
When they are living fine, they will not depend on the government to carry the burden of their solemnization any longer. Even they will be able to contribute to the development strives of their various states through payment of taxes.
For real, I think Mr. Commonsense really made sense going by this position, but my advice to the Senator is not only to be firing on social media but also step up his representative acumen in the hallow chamber.
