I have No Interest In Tinubu’s Presidential Ambition — Fayose

I have No Interest In Tinubu’s Presidential Ambition  —

Ayodele Fayose, a former Governor of Ekiti State has finally broken his silence over news making the rounds that he is interested in contesting for the 2023 presidential election on the platform of All Progressive Congress (APC) to overthrow the National leader of the party, Bola Tinubu.

Fayose who spoke with Punch on Wednesday evening in a live chat said he is not interested in the presidential ambition rumour but expressed confidence that his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), would produce Nigeria’s president in the 2023 general elections.

"Bola Tinubu is a leader in the West. It is a statement of fact,” said the former governor, noting that he has not met or spoken with the former Lagos State governor in years.

Fayose said, “I have never met former governor Ahmed Bola Tinubu in the last three years and I have never spoken with him on the phone once. So, I don’t how they are tying the relationship politically.

“To the best of my knowledge, I am not a member of APC. I have no influence on how he will become if he wants to become. I have no interest; the only interest I have is that a PDP president must be put in place.”

“If this country exists for the peace and enjoyment of all us, we will not be talking about it is APC, it is PDP…A PDP man cannot attend a function with an APC man. An APC man cannot greet a PDP man, we can’t continue like that, it shows the level of hypocrisy.” 

Fayose also said he has not abandoned his ambition to be Nigeria’s president. “The office of the president is a noble one and I will love to be the president of Nigeria if the opportunity permits,” Fayose stated.
