The aspirant while speaking said governance is about prioritizing the basic needs and welfare of the masses, criticised Oyebanji for his ‘cosmetics’ achievements.
He said, “I have something better than what you are currently getting, Ekiti residents deserve more than what they are getting. This APC government in Ekiti and Nigeria has not done well, they fail to provide basic needs of the masses; No job opportunities, majority of our youths are riding okada to make ends meet, no social amenities and people are hungry; an hungry man is an angry man, there is no food. To feed once a day is hard, everything is expensive.
“APC government is not doing well at all, if they can’t govern well, they should handover the government.:The masses are suffering, there are no social amenities such as electricity, road network, no job, no adequate security.

While calling on Ekiti residents to support his aspiration, Fayose opined that he understands what Ekiti people are facing, urging them to exercise patience and persevere.
