A former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, says he worked against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar during the 2024 elections
Fayose made this known while featuring on ‘Politics Today’ on Channels Television on Sunday night.
According to him I never worked for PDP during the last election. I am not a liar and a pretender. I did not work for PDP.
The former governor said he had no regrets working ‘one hundred per cent’ against the presidential ambition of Atiku in the build-up to the February 25 presidential poll.
He said he supported President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress based on principle.
Fayose stated: “I worked against him (Atiku) 100 percent. 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 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.”
