By Udesinanna Stephen
Formal Governor of Ekiti State and a member of the People Democratic Party, PDP Board of Trustee (BOT), Ayodele Fayose has faulted the protest by the Party members in Abuja.
Speaking with newsmen today, Fayose said that the party can not be in court and be protesting simultaneously; “how can you be in court and you are protesting. You are saying you are a civil society member, which civil society? Is Atiku a civil society member?” He stated.
He further supported zoning of the presidency to the South and added that, PDP’s negating the zoning led to its failure
According to him, After Southern Governors met, they agreed that power should be taken to the south. The Northern party Governors signed a document negating the demand for a southern President.
Also, Fayose said, other options where provided, where Atiku was asked to announce that he is going for only 4 years but he declined, claiming after his emerges he will announce so.
Speaking on Tinubu’s emergence as President-Elect, Fayose said that, despite the bully Tinubu faced and social media attack, he succeeded stressing that, the 2023 elections was not rigged.
Although, he said he had not benefited politically from Bola Ahmed Tinubu, “I respect him and I know he has sense to know how he got there and not to disappoint Nigerians.” he added.
However, he reinstated his stance that he will not be a member of the APC, In his words, “I am not a member of the APC and I will never be a member of the APC. I don’t jump from one party to another, at this stage what am I looking for I can’t not become the President of Nigeria”.
Speaking on consequences of Obi leaving the party, the former Governor said, Obi left with PDP vote from the Southeast and Southsouth.
Nevertheless, Fayose appreciated the coming of Obi, “because now there is a lot of consciousness. Everybody now have to seat right, he is the man with the tale wing, Obi did well, they thought he is a joke, he became an hurricane, he became an issue”. He praises.
He also called on Tambawal to leave the protest and go prepare in his state so as not to lose his position.
