Punch reports that the governor stated that the APC-led government had failed to deliver on its campaign promises to Nigerians.

He said: “The opposition groups need cooperation and understanding of certain things. It is allowed in politics. What that means is to say, look, we have the capacity to put all efforts together to remove this bad government. That is good for Nigeria. Coming together to move Nigeria forward is the way to go. Each group will bring their programmes and form a national agenda.
“We do not want to do it alone, but work together so that Nigeria can move forward. It should be encouraged further and that is what I stand for.
“Nigerians do not need to be aloof. This will play into the hands of those doing badly. People should come out and take their stand. Vote and insist on your vote. No struggle is easy but every struggle takes life.
“That is the way to change your country. To go to sleep is dangerous because it allows a bad leader to remain. In Ekiti, they know that under credible elections, the PDP will win.
“So, what they are doing is cause tension in the PDP strongholds and cause apathy. I tell Nigerians; do not be intimidated. Everybody has to make sacrifice. The media played a role in 2015, why not now! Have you been so intimidated."
