According to Punch, Fayose said he will continue to agitate for a better Nigeria, after leaving office.
The Governor said this while meeting with civil servants in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday, May 3, 2017.
Fayose
also seized the opportunity to praise the workers for their commitment,
despite the economic challenges and inconsistent salaries.
The Governor also debunked reports that Ekiti state has received the second payment of the paris club loan.
He said
“I don’t want to contest again, not even for senatorial race in 2019.
One thing I have learnt was that, Ekiti people don’t normally
participate in some government policies where data are collated. And it
used to affect us in getting extra grants or favour from the Federal
Government and international agencies.
“The
Federal Government is planning to renovate 1,000 health centres in
Nigeria and Ekiti got only three. When I enquired, they said the data
used to compile the figures didn’t favour Ekiti. If they are to register
for polio vaccine, our people won’t make themselves available, because
of nonchalant attitude
“That is why I
won’t care to declare more holidays for people to get registered. But I
want to call on INEC to look into the faulty data capturing machines. We
have had bad experiences since the commencement of the CVR programme
last week and the commission must resolve all these anomalies in the
interest of our people.
“I
also want to note that all these problems won’t reoccur during the 2018
polls, that is the main reason why INEC, as a commission, must improve
on its efficiency.”
Fayose also declined to comment on the health of President Buhari, telling newsmen that he has chosen to watch as issues unfold.
