No regrets working against Atiku during presidential election, says Fayose
A former Ekiti Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said he has no regrets working ‘one hundred per cent’ against the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the February 25 presidential poll.
He said this on Sunday night while speaking with journalist in Lagos.
The PDP bigwig said he supported President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress based on principle.
Fayose 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. I am not a man that will hide my action. If PDP doesn’t need me again, they cannot say I cannot live.
“But I love the PDP even though the party has not been fair to me. I am a principled man. So, let me say to you, I never worked for PDP during the last election. I am not a liar and a pretender. I did not work for PDP.”
He said he remained a member of the PDP “except the PDP says ‘Fayose, we don’t need you anymore.’ Then they have set me free of the yoke. But in all sincerity, it is a party that I believe in, subscribe to and want to stay forever. I will never join the APC.”
