Olubolade, who played host to the PDP candidate at a campaign rally in Ipoti-Ekiti, Ijero Local Government Area of the state, said he was not a desperate politician.
The former minister, who resigned his appointment to contest the June 21 gubernatorial election in the state, said his failure to pick the ticket was an act of God.
The former Bayelsa Military Administrator, who was one of the aggrieved aspirants that initially rejected Fayose’s emergence, said he offered his support as a mark of respect to President Goodluck Jonathan.
“I decided to forget the past and work for the party’s candidate as a mark of respect to President Goodluck Jonathan and for the overall interest of the party.
“Fayose is a good material for the election; he is an acknowledged grass roots politician
with ability to deliver the state to the party.
“I am therefore ready to deploy all resources to ensure that, come June 21, our party takes over the reign in the state,” he said.
NAN reports that Olubolade later accompanied Fayose to communities where the latter campaigned on Sunday. (NAN)
