Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti state has one message for Nigerians on his 60 birthday; he wants to become the most powerful man in the country; the president.

After serving two terms as governor of the state, widely known as the land pounded yam and professors, Fayose said his last wish is to become the occupier of Aso Rock and Commander-in-chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces.

The suggestions that he’s gearing up to contest the Ekiti Central Senatorial District, has somehow raised the blood pressure of his opponents in the state, because of his popularity among his peoples, but the ex-governor said he does not want to be a lawmaker. .

The only thing uppermost in his mind, having served twice as Ekiti helmsman is to be Nigerian president “I don’t like to be a senator who will be making laws that the executive would not have the courage to implement,” Fayose said on a radio programme in the state capital, Ado Ekiti on Saturday.

The former governor, who spoke as part of activities marking his 60th birthday anniversary, said, those that have been occupying the office are not better than him, insisting that the presidency is where he can make a big difference because of the power attached to the office.

Fayose said “I am eminently qualified to become Nigeria’s President if people like Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari could be so ‘graced’ to be presidents.”

He said he’s the man of the people after contributing to the development of the state since he joined politics.

The former governor did not say exactly whether he would throw his hat in the ring in 2023 when the incumbent, President Muhammadu Buhari, who has been randomly criticized by the former governor, is expected to leave office.
