Former presidential aide, Senator Babafemi Ojudu has said former Ekiti governor, Ayo Fayose lacks honour.

He added that the ex-governor could not spell the word ?politics?.

Ojudu ripped into Fayose during an appearance on Edmund Obilo?s, State Affairs podcast on Thursday.

According to him, Fayose would not have won second term as governor if not for the electorate willing to sell their votes.

Ojudu said, ?Fayose has no honour now; he is a man of dishonour. He became governor again because people are hungry, vote for a pot of soup and N5000, everybody will vote in an environment of poverty.?

Ojudu recounted how he defeated Fayose during the 2011 Ekiti Central senatorial election with 40,000 votes.

He said, ?I have been the only one who defeated him in an election; he stood against me during the Senate election, he had 28,000 votes and I had 68,000 votes.

?This is also a story of how I defeated him. He had the money to spend but I didn?t have the money to spend.

?Then, a radio station organised a debate between me and him which was actually an unfair competition. When we got there, I went in my Agbada while he came in a Tee shirt and jeans.

?As soon as he entered, I saw an inscription on that Tee-shirt ?Politics is Serious Business? and I saw that politics was wrongly spelt.

?I was happy that I had this guy today. I called my photographer, ?please snap his chest, which he did,? we went on and he accused me of all sorts of things.

?He called me a road side journalist and I was just waiting. After we had thrown all kinds of barbs at each other, the moderator said ?we have come to the end of the debate but I will give you two minutes each. Who is going to start??

?And I said my governor must start. He thought I was actually being civil but I needed to talk last so that he would have no reply.

?When he finished, I said ?today is my saddest day because I don?t know what to tell my 13-year-old daughter when I get back home ? that the man who was my governor, who wants to go and represent Ekiti in the Senate does not know how to spell politics.

?People at home, I?m calling your attention to the chest of this former governor of yours who wants to go to the Senate and can?t spell politics ? are we going to continue having illiterates in power? He just put his hands on his chest and ran out of the studio, that was a killer punch.? (Daily Sun)
