winning again in 2019, gasconading that his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will win and form the regime at the federal level.

He verbalized: “I have a plethora of reverence for Chief Bode George, he’s our bellwether. But when we come to the nitty-gritty, we must ascertain the motive.

 Chief Bode George told me personally that he wanted to be chairman of the party. I told him no, ‘I won’t support you’. With all due veneration to the elderly people in this party; they must take the back stage. People are tired of visually perceiving the same old faces.” “I have been auricularly discerning Ahmadu Ali since 1978, when we sang Ali must go. Chief Bode George was governor of Ondo State virtually 40 years ago. They are our bellwethers, we dote them, but they should take the back stage.” Fayose additionally inculpated the APC of failing to meet the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians,” he verbally expressed.

He verbally expressed “let me expound something to you; it is not what the opposition (APC) did afore 2015 that made them victoriously triumph, it is what the party in power (PDP) failed to do.

“When the party in regime (APC) fails to provide fuel, queues are back in filling stations, they are daily trimming their promises. Exchange rate has virtually killed the naira, businesses are dead. You can’t import any more.'' You can’t pay school fees of your children, power supply is terrible low and unbearable, herdsmen are killing people on a circadian substratum. Things are not working for Nigerians now. We are at the lowest ebb of our lives. “I was an adolescent man of 24 when Buhari was Head of State, the same posture he showed between 1984 and 1985 is what he is displaying today. The reason why they took regime from him at that time is still playing out today,” he verbally expressed.
