The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ekiti State, Wole Oluyede, says he has no political godfather.

Oluyede said people of the state are his godfather in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television on Thursday.

He was speaking ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial elections in the state.

The fact of the matter is, it’s on record. Everybody knows that my godfather is the people themselves.

“The people have to believe in the hope that I have a track record of investment in this state. I’m the only person at this time, in the history of this state that’s trusting the state to think that we can invest in this state.

“I’ve invested my money, my time, my energy to say things can be different. I am very suspicious and wary about the fairness of the present police force in Ekiti.

“In circumstances where your own supporters are being arrested for reasons that you do not know and they cannot explain and when you have situations, on the other hand, where we have agents of the APC in my hometown attacking people with machetes and they are not arrested, then we need to question that,” he said.
