Fayose thanks Ngige for campaigning for PDP in Ekiti APC rally

The governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has thanked former Governor of Anambra State and Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr. Chris Ngige for campaigning for him during the grand finale of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State on Tuesday.

President Muhammadu Buhari, national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, Adams Oshomhole, national chairman of the party, Ngige and other party stalwarts were in Ekiti to woo and wrap up campaign for Kayode Fayemi ahead of Saturday’s governorship poll in the state.

Dr. Ngige while making his speech urged the people of Ekiti State to ensure that they return Fayose, but however, corrected himself when Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora who was standing behind him to correct Ngige.

Overwhelmed Fayose taking to his twitter handle; @GovAyoFayose wrote “I thank my good friend, Dr Chris Ngige for campaigning for me at the APC rally in Ado Ekiti yesterday. Dr. Ngige is a man who is not always afraid to say the truth and that’s what he demonstrated yesterday even in the presence of the President and other APC leaders.”

But Abike Dabiri-Erewa on her twitter handle, @abikedabiri in defense of Senator Ngige wrote “The two names start with “FAY. He immediately corrected himself .Anyone can make that mistake . .” But this was acceptable to many of her followers who described Ngige’s action as a costly mistake that shouldn’t have happened in the first place because they were both former governors and ministers before Fayemi declared interest for the governorship position in Ekiti State.
