The Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has appealed to the All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, to take what he termed "their impending defeat" in Saturday's election in good faith.

According to him, President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party will through the election send Buhari on political retirement.

Fayose, who stated this through his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday, added that the APC would, by the election, be taught a political lesson that elections were not won on pages of newspapers and through sheer propaganda. He said the defeat would put an end to propaganda, bad mouthing and the noise of the APC, "because lies will always fail, while truth will stand the test of time".


The governor noted that it was imperative to offer the advice because of Buhari's antecedent of inciting people to violence as his own response to defeat in elections, adding that the APC had always believed that any election it did not win was rigged.

He said: "The reason APC will fail woefully is because people have come to know it as a party peopled by liars, deceits and hypocrites who should not be entrusted with the leadership of this country.


"Even leaders of thought in the North have since withdrawn their support when they realised the agenda of certain APC leaders against the North.

"I can say it categorically that Buhari will be beaten silly and I am advising Buhari and his APC to take the impending defeat philosophically as an act of God.

"May be after this election, the party will change its name from APC to Panadol."
