Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has declared himself as Nigeria’s President-in-waiting, ahead of 2019. He made the declaration at the Jolly Nyame Stadium, Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, during the funeral service of former Governor, Danbaba Danfulani Suntai.
The Ekiti State Governor, came when all other dignitaries were seated and the occasion had begun. He waved at the gathering, acknowledging cheers, which briefly interrupted the service.
He wore a white garment with brief arms and white half shoe to match, as he strode inside the podium.
“Thank you for giving me the chance. Maybe I am the President in-waiting”, he said, receiving a thunder of laughter and cheers from the audience.
As he made his speech, members of women choral group began to make noise.
“Women should not make noise, especially when a President-in-waiting is talking”, he said. Again, he was cheered up by fans.
He based his tribute on “courage and fearlessness”, which he is known for, which were also attributes of the late former Governor, Danbaba Danfulani Suntai. However, when it was the turn of the Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, to speak, he told Fayose that there was no qualm, since his Presidency was a waiting type.
Lalong said: “Thank God you are a waiting President. You will wait for my President, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari; he has returned. You will welcome him.”
Fielding questions from Newsmen, Fayose said he attended Suntai’s funeral, because the deceased was an achiever, and particularly, when Governor Darius Ishaku of the PDP won his election in the court, he celebrated the victory in Ekiti too.
