Fayose Drops Bombshell After Defeat In Ekiti Governorship Poll, Blasts Buhari

The Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has broken his silence after suffering defeat in the just concluded governorship poll in the state.

He broke his silence on his twitter account on Monday.

If APC truly won, why was it that there was no jubilation in Ekiti ?
That victory of Kayode Fayemi is pyrrhic, we will reclaim the stolen mandate in the court by the power of God.

As for me, I am Peter Ayodele Fayose , I hold with my head high. I can never be suppressed. I don’t lose battles and I will not lose this. By the power of God, I will laugh last.

The President should bury his head in shame for using the police, army, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and INEC to snatch the mandate given to Olusola and deliver it to Fayemi “whom Ekiti people rejected.”
