The governor of Ekiti state Ayodele Fayose has condemned the All Progressives Congress (APC) following the 77-man committee set up by the ruling party ahead of the state’s July 14 governorship elections.

In his reaction, Fayose said the council which he described as the “Biblical Army of the Philistines” will be defeated in the upcoming governorship election in the state.

Expressing confident, the governor said that the APC will be massively defeated despite their “army of occupation.”

Fayose’s Tweet:

Going further, Fayose who was of the stance that the APC should have addressed the fundamental issues rocking the nation- insecurity, hunger among others berated the ruling party for the recent development.

“I saw APC’s gathering of 77 for Ekiti election, which I regard as the Biblical Army of the Philistines that will always crumble against the Israelites.

“APC didn’t set up a 77-man committee on economic recovery, herdsmen killings & hunger, it is Ekiti that is more important to them.

“Unfortunately for the APC, their army of occupation is facing a Peter The Rock, they will be roundly defeated and the more they gather, the sweeter their defeat,” Fayose said.

The governor also added that despite earmarking over N25 billion for the coming elections, the Party’s defeat is unarguable.
