Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has maintained that he is still interested in becoming Nigeria’s president in 2019, saying he has not withdrawn from the race despite his party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), zoning the presidency to the North. “I am still in the presidential race. I am only waiting for the time Ekiti governorship election will hold so I can have the time, though I am making contacts, I am reaching out to the people that matter across the country,” Fayose said. He contended that he had “no role to play, only the NWC will present the delegate lists for them to elect the candidate. If it were those people I had supported, they won’t be abusing me.
