Former Special Adviser on Political Matters to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Babafemi Ojudu, has said ex-governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose lacks honour and can’t spell the word “politics.”
Ojudu made the remark while recounting how he defeated Fayose during the 2011 senatorial election in Ekiti State.
He alleged that Fayose became governor after his impeachment because he engaged in vote-buying and the people of Ekiti State were hungry.
The former presidential aide disclosed this during an interview on Edmund Obilo’s podcast, State Affairs on Thursday morning.
Ojudu said despite Fayose having money to prosecute the election, he defeated him with 68,000 votes while the former governor had 28,000 votes.
According to Ojudu: “Fayose has no honour now, he is a man of dishonour, he became governor again because people are hungry, vote for a pot of soup and N5000, everybody will vote in an environment of poverty.
“I have been the only one who defeated him in an election; he stood against me during the Senate election, he had 28,000 votes and I had 68,000 votes.
“This is also a story of how I defeated him, he had the money to spend but I didn’t have the money to spend.
“Then, a radio station organized a debate between me and him which was actually an unfair competition. When we got there, I went in my Agbada while he came in a Tee shirt and jeans.
