Emmanuel Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, has announced his intention to run for the governorship of Ekiti State.
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Emmanuel disclosed his decision in a statement released on Friday.
Emmanuel Fayose stated that his resolve to join the race stems from his desire to revamp Ekiti and return the state to the path of growth and development. He expressed his determination to dislodge the current Oyebanji-led government and, if elected, to run an inclusive administration that would steer Ekiti in the right direction.
He also mentioned that his motivation was further strengthened following a recent meeting between his brother, Ayodele Fayose, and President Bola Tinubu in Lagos.
Despite the meeting, which some party members labeled as anti-party, Emmanuel Fayose remains undeterred and is confident that the people of Ekiti will support his bid.
Emmanuel called on his supporters to remain steadfast and resolute in their quest for positive change, emphasizing that the PDP will return to power in 2026 to rebuild the state.
He urged the leadership of the PDP to ascertain his brother’s political allegiance, whether to the PDP or APC, and assured his supporters that his brother’s choices would not negatively impact his own aspirations.
