I'll address unemployment, says Fayose

Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the June 21 governorship election former Governor Ayodele Fayose has said he will address unemployment, if elected.

Fayose arrived in Ekiti yesterday from Abuja, where he had gone to collect his Certificate of Return from the party’s national leadership.

The helicopter that brought him landed at Amoye Grammar School in Ikere-Ekiti, where Fayose addressed his supporters, who turned out in their numbers.

Fayose said: “Youth unemployment has been alarming. We have to do something fast.”

He said there was need to reconcile aggrieved PDP aspirants to ensure the party’s victory at the poll and hailed “the unusual courage of one of the aspirants, Prince Dayo Adeyeye”.

Fayose said: “I am humbled by Adeyeye’s readiness to join me in the race to reclaim the governance of the state from the All Progressives Congress (APC).”

He said PDP members must unite, if the party is to progress.

Fayose said the APC had failed the people, pledging that his party would meet the people’s aspirations.

On his purported row with traditional rulers, Fayose said he could not be in disagreement with any monarch, adding: “I accord royal fathers the respect due to them. Let not the opposition deceive us into believing what we did not and cannot do. We have never rubbished any traditional ruler. Our royal fathers are fathers of all of us. Very soon, we will begin our visit to palaces across the state.

“Today’s Fayose is different from the Fayose of over 10 years ago. I am more mature, responsible, responsive, experienced and focused. My immediate task is to ensure that the PDP becomes one big family in the state to provide the people with a formidable alternative.”
