Fayose and Tinubu

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, stated on Thursday, July 7, that he would not hesitate to criticize President Bola Tinubu if he fails to fulfill his campaign promises.

Telescope.ng gathered that while speaking to State House Correspondents after a meeting with the President in Abuja, Fayose emphasized that he would be the first to speak up if Tinubu reneges on his words.

He, however, acknowledged that Tinubu has performed well since taking office and should be commended.

The PDP chieftain says: “The steps so far taken can readily give us the direction of this government. Elections have come and gone, without prejudice to the courts.

“But it’s no more time for campaigning or selling a political party, it is time to govern Nigeria for the benefit of children yet unborn and those of us that are still here and to equally let you know that I had a very wonderful time with the President.

“You will see him very alert and very clear in the direction he wants to take the country, but he can’t do it alone, he needs all of us.”

Fayose argued that now that the elections are over, it is time for Nigerians to unite and support the President in addressing the country’s challenges.

He described his meeting with the President as wonderful and expressed confidence in Tinubu’s vision for the country.

The former governor clarified that although he is working with Tinubu and other opposition party leaders, such as Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and former Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, he remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), adding that he will never join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He stressed that Nigeria’s interests should transcend political parties and that making a difference does not require holding an official position.

He stated: “I will never be a member of the APC. I am a PDP man. If anything takes me out of the PDP or if I don’t do partisan politics again, I will be the husband of my wife at home.

“It is not a matter of party, Nigeria is bigger than all political parties and all interest groups. You don’t have to take an appointment to make a difference.

“Nigeria is about 200 million population, we all can’t be on the appointment, whosoever makes it, either in the APC or in the attempt to have a government of national unity, it’s all about service.”

Fayose assured that he will support the president at this time but will not hesitate to criticize him if he fails to fulfil his promises.

He added: “I want to say to you that Nigerians know me very well when President Buhari was to come. From day one, I made it very clear that the president will not do well. I did not hide it.

“Let me tell you, if Asiwaju turns back on his promise, all he said when he was campaigning, I will be the first to talk. I am not timid o and I don’t shy away from facing challenges. But the man I saw today and for the actions we have seen, means well for Nigeria,”

He highlighted his previous skepticism towards ex-president Buhari and his administration but acknowledged that the actions he has seen from Tinubu indicate good intentions for Nigeria.
