Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose will tomorrow formally declare his intention to vie for the President of Nigeria on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019.
The event will hold at the Golden Hall of Chelsea Hotel in Abuja at 11 a.m.
The Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said Fayose, in a letter addressed to PDP leaders, noted that his ambition to be President was without prejudice to the party’s position but in its overall interest and Nigeria.
The letter reads: “It is with deep sense of responsibility that I write to inform you of my intention to seek the ticket/mandate of our party to contest the 2019 presidential election. Considering your support and commitment towards our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), it becomes imperative to keep you informed and seek your support.
“This ambition, however, is without prejudice to our party’s position but in the overall interest of the party and our country.
“I urge that all hands should be on deck to ensure victory in the 2019 presidential election.
“Accept the assurances of my highest regards as a determined presidential hopeful.”
On his chances, if fielded by the PDP, Fayose said: “I have penchant for taking powers. That one in President Muhammadu Buhari’s hand, I will take it.
I’m going straight to that Villa. I’m the next President.”
