Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has told online news site Premium Times that fielding Jonathan as the PDP’s presidential flag-bearer in the general elections last year, was a miscalculation.
“In the first place, we lost the election because we did not pick our candidate from the north, not because Jonathan as a person was bad. It was just a political miscalculation. The fact is that my former president, I chose my word, my former president, Goodluck Jonathan, tried his best. But if I were him, I would not have contested at all”, the garrulous governor said.
