Tinubu is a leader: Fayose talks on 2023 presidency

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, disclosed that Bola Tinubu is a leader yet he is only concerned with making sure the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wins the Presidential election in 2023.

Fayose declared this when he was speaking on the supposed interest of All Progressives Congress chieftain in the 2023 presidency on Wednesday.

Fayose, though, dismissed any personal relationship with Tinubu, stating that he did not meet or speak with the former Lagos State governor in years.

“Bola Tinubu is a leader in the West. It is a statement of fact,” Fayose told Top Naija.

“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 of us, we will not be talking 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 level of hypocrisy,” he added.

Fayose also disclosed that he has not given up on his ambition to be Nigeria’s president.

He said, “The office of the president is a noble one and I will love to be the president of Nigeria if the opportunity permits.”
