Ekiti: I have no godfather – PDP guber candidate, Oluyede

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate in Ekiti State, Wole Oluyede, says he has no political godfather.

Featuring in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television on Thursday, Oluyede said people of the state are his godfather.

He was speaking ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election in the state.

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

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

“In situations where your supporters are being arrested for reasons that you don’t know and they can’t explain and when you have situations, on the other hand, where we have agents of the APC in my hometown attacking people with machetes and they are not arrested, then we need to question that,” he said.
