Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has slammed those planning to “unseat” the president-elect, Bola Tinubu.
KanyiDaily recalls that Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had approached the election tribunal to challenge Tinubu’s victory.
Speaking on Tuesday in an interview with Channels Television, Fayose said the 2023 presidential election has “come and gone”, adding that anyone planning to unseat Tinubu is “daydreaming”.
The former governor, who stated that Atiku and Obi are putting themselves in a nightmare, however, noted that those aggrieved are at liberty to approach the court.
Fayose said he is not desperate for any appointment, adding the he is somebody who will not “cringe because of a piece of meal” and will never move to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said, “The directive was that we should go and support the southern candidate because this is the position of the governors and the leaders of thought — and the southern candidates were Obi and the president-elect and I have done justice.
“I’m not desperate for any appointment. I’m somebody who will not cringe because of a piece of meal.
“I’m contented, but for anybody to say he would unseat Ahmed Bola Tinubu, you are daydreaming, it is a nightmare you are putting yourself through. That election has come and gone.
“In America, the former president is still saying he was rigged. He who comes to equity must have clean hands. Today, in Nigeria, that election has come and gone but you are at liberty to go to court.”
The former Ekiti governor said he will never join the APC while reiterating that he has withdrawn from partisan politics.
Fayode said, “Many people in Nigeria have been confronted with what they have said at different times and they either recant or say something new. I stand here to tell you that I will never be a member of the APC.
“I am not in politics for what it is anymore. I have been given a fair opportunity to lead Ekiti two times and defeated two incumbents.
“Nigeria is not a country we now take for granted. You will see that by the outcome of this election that a lot of people were displaced as a result of taking people for granted.”
Meanwhile, Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akisanya has wished those against Bola Tinubu’s tenure another four years of memorable suffering after the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
