Gov. Ayodele Fayose
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has hailed the victory
of the Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump in the United States of America (USA) election, describing it as “the beginning of a real change in Nigeria because those who imposed the present All Progressives Congress (APC) government on Nigerians just lost out.”
The governor said; “Now that Trump has won, it portends
hope for Nigerians that the excesses of the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government will stop as the
road has ended for those who conspired to impose Buhari on
Nigerians.”
Reacting to Trump’s victory, Special Assistant to the
Governor of Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka quoted the governor as saying in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday that he believed that Trump will be able to tell President Buhari to respect rule of law and sit at home to solve the country’s economic problems instead of junketing around the world.
The governor said: “Trump presidency symbolises different
things to different people and nations. It symbolises God at
work and a clear departure from the old order.
“It is also a turning point for Nigeria and Nigerians,
particularly those controlling the federal government that
must have to change their ways as their allies who imposed
them on us just lost out.
“Most importantly, President Barack Obama got what he did
to Dr Goodluck Jonathan.
God bless President-Elect Donald John Trump!” Describing the conduct of the elections as a lesson for Nigerians, Governor Fayose said; “The US elections started and ended seamlessly.
The electoral umpire never meddled; the military, police and SSS did not provide cover for ballot snatchers. No printing of doggy result sheets.
I think Prof Mahmood Yakubu and his INEC should learn from this for posterity. They should stop aiding unpopular politicians to rob the people of quality leadership.”
Speaking further, Governor Fayose said the election of Trump signals the hope of a possible defeat of the APC government foisted on Nigeria by the USA influence.
The governor said; “I prayed to God that if Trump will be the
one to save us from this present state of hopelessness, God
should give him victory. I prayed that God should let Trump
win so that another change can begin in Nigeria. I am happy
that God answered my prayers and gave Trump a resounding victory.
“I am also happy that God has humbled those who conspired
to impose the present APC government that has brought
hunger, suffering, abuse of human rights and destruction of
the Electoral system on Nigeria and its people.”
