Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has said Nigerians will never
succumb to the deceit and falsehood of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), saying; “It is self deceit taken too far for anyone to list
Ekiti as part of States to be won by the APC in the Saturday’s
presidential election.”
The governor urged Nigerians to disregard the orchestrated opinion
polls being published since Saturday in some newspapers, adding that;
“Fake opinion polls won’t assist the APC, the way it did not assist
the party in the June 21, 2014 Ekiti governorship election.”
In a statement issued on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Public
Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said
President Goodluck Jonathan will win the Saturday election, no matter
how hard the APC try in their game of deceit and falsehood.”
Governor Fayose said; “When I saw the publications yesterday and
today, I just laughed because I wondered how people can be so happy
deceiving themselves.
“When you are telling yourself that Buhari will win in Ekiti, it shows
that you are suffering from Acquired Self-deceit Syndrome (ASS), which
is even more deadly than ebola disease.
“That’s the same way they deceived themselves with orhestrated opinion
polls before the Ekiti election, and up till now, they are still dazed
by the 16 – 0 defeat.
“Funny enough, one of the newspapers that published the orchestrated
opinion polls described Ido-Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State
as a ‘sleepy town’ thinking that Ido-Osi was a town.”
He urged the APC to “stop lying and face the reality of a lost
election because President Jonathan will win convincingly.”
Governor Fayose described claim by the APC that there was “a plan to
freeze the accounts of companies, individuals and organisations
believed to be financing the party, with the ultimate objective of
crippling the party so it won’t be able to sustain its activities,
like paying its agents on Election Day and other logistics,” as a face
saving tactic by the APC.
“They are already preparing the minds of their gullible supporters for
the impending electoral woe that will befall the party on Saturday.
“When they lose, they will come out with story of how inability of the
party financiers like Senator Bola Tinubu, Governor Rotimi Amaechi and
others to access funds made Buhari to lose.
“I sympathise with them and I can only urge the APC and its leaders to
try their luck in 2019. But then, they must purge themselves of the
Acquired Self-deceit Syndrome because Nigeria presidency cannot be
taken by falsehood.”
