REALLY UNCOMMON – Ekiti PDP Gov Candidate Reveals His Godfather

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Wole Oluyede, has said he has no political godfather.

Naija News reports that Oluyede said the people of the state remained his only godfather ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.

He spoke on Thursday during an interview on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme.

“The truth about it is on record. Everybody knows that the godfather I have is the people themselves,” Oluyede said.

He said Ekiti people must believe in his vision and record of investment in the state.

“The people have to believe in the hope that I have a record of investment in this state. In the history of this state, I’m the only person at this time trusting the state to think that we can invest in this state.

“I have invested my money, my time, and my energy to say things can be different,” he added.

Oluyede also expressed concern over what he described as the conduct of security operatives in the state.

He said, “I am very wary and suspicious of the fairness of the present police force in Ekiti.”

The PDP candidate alleged that some of his supporters had been arrested without clear reasons.

He also claimed that agents of the All Progressives Congress (APC) attacked people in his hometown with machetes without being arrested.
