Atiku or Tinubu? Fayose finally revealed candidate he supported during presidential polls

Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti State and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has revealed that he worked against his principal, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, during the 2023 presidential poll.

Fayose disclosed this in an interview on Channels TV's late-night programme 'Sunday Politics' on Sunday, July 9.

As reported by Punch, the former governor said: “I worked against him (Atiku) 100 per cent. Nigeria is bigger than the PDP, APC and even Asiwaju (Tinubu) himself. Let us call a spade a spade."

Fayose, who was blunt in his expression, said he is prepared for whatever actions the PDP is willing to take over his decision to support President Tinubu.

He stated that he is not scared or bothered about being booted out of the party if they no longer need his services.

He said: "I am not a man that will hide my action. If PDP doesn’t need me again, they cannot say I cannot live."

He also noted that working for Tinubu was based on his conviction for justice, equity and fairness, as he also revealed that the PDP had not been fair to him despite all his sacrifices and devotion to the party.

As reported by Daily Trust, Fayose said: “The same PDP, because I said it was the turn of the South, removed my son, suspended my son, expelled my son, suspended me. For a man that has suffered tremendously for PDP?”
