Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has said he worked for President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election based on Principle.
He said there was no way he could have worked for his party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, having taken a position with some others that it was the turn of the South to be president.
Speaking on Channels television’s Politics, the former governor, a chieftain of PDP, said he and G5 governors worked 100 per cent against their candidate.
“I was the first Nigerian despite not being in APC and without apologies that it was the turn of South to be president and I have no regret making that statement.
“Don’t get it wrong, we did not support Atiku; we worked against him 100 per cent. Nigeria is bigger than PDP, APC, any other person. I supported Asiwaju…’’
“In Ekiti, we provided the difference. If PDP says it does not need me again, it cannot say I cannot live. PDP has not been fair to me. I was the only one fighting Buhari’s government throughout.
“I never worked for PDP during the last election.
Asked if it was right to work against the candidate of his party, Fayose said “this is not the first time I will say this. I am not a pretender of any sort…”
“The reality is I worked for Asiwaju. Asiwaju is a Yoruba man of note. Asiwaju is a respectable person in the West. It is the time of South.
