Boluwatife Fayose, son of former governor, Ayodele Fayose, says his decision to join the All Progressives Congress was driven by his admiration for the incumbent Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji, and not by his father’s influence.
Boluwatife stated this while addressing APC leaders and members in Irepodun/Ifelodun State Constituency II after he was confirmed the party’s consensus candidate for the State House of Assembly seat, in Iworoko Ekiti State.
Boluwatife was presented to party leaders by the APC leadership from Afao Ward after the party resolved that the Assembly ticket for the constituency would be zoned to the ward.
Boluwatife at the meeting expressed appreciation to party leaders and members for their support, noting that his father, who is not a member of the APC, had sent his greetings to those present.
He stressed that joining the party was a personal decision and not influenced by his father.
“It is because of the good character of Governor Oyebanji, his love for the people, that attracted me to the APC. The most important thing on my mind is the forthcoming governorship election, that is our focus”.
Boluwatife also pledged to work closely with constituents and cooperate with the current lawmaker to ensure electoral success.
“I will make sure everybody is carried along and ensure nobody is left behind. But the most important thing right now is the June 20 governorship election, because without that, every other thing means nothing,” he said.
