Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has said the victory of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari in the February 23 elections was secured through “the barrel of the gun” and not worth celebrating by the winner.
He hailed Nigerians for their courage to withstand what he called a rape on democracy.
In a brief statement on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti by his media aide, Lere Olayinka,which was made available to the Next Edition, the former governor noted: “Rather than a word of congratulation to President Buhari, who will be leading our country against our wish as a nation, Nigerians are the ones who deserve to be praised for their courage.

“As already known, I am not afraid of arrest and detention. I have been persecuted and still being persecuted because of my stand on national issues and I will remain undaunted.
“Let me, therefore, commend Nigerians and tell them that they should not lose hope because help will come someday.”
