A former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, said
Nigerians are doomed if the People’s Democratic Party PDP does not win the 2023
elections.
Fayose added that Nigerians will remain in poverty if they
fail to vote PDP into power in 2023.
He said: “If the PDP does not win the 2023 election, then
Nigerians are doomed. From what I have seen since 2015, Nigerians are doomed.
The kind of leadership that Nigeria has witnessed – insecurity, the economy.
“Don’t forget that the impact of these things is more felt
by the masses. It is the people that are at the receiving end. The cost of
diesel today is about N400 per liter; during President Goodluck Jonathan’s
(PDP) time, it was N140, N145. Whatever we are saying, it is either Nigerians
want to remain in perpetual poverty or they save themselves. It is about
Nigerians themselves.”
Fayose also rubbished the reports that he endorsed the
presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu.
He told Saturday Punch that he will never support Tinubu
because he will defeat the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress if
the PDP pick him as the presidential candidate in 2023.
Fayose said, “I have said it over and over, Asiwaju remains
a Yoruba leader; I remain a Yoruba leader. We are at different levels of
leadership. But if I am being misquoted for the fact that I said Asiwaju is a
Yoruba leader, I am saying I am a Yoruba leader, but Asiwaju in his own Yoruba
leadership is in the APC; Ayo Fayose in his own leadership is in PDP.
“Who has told you that I don’t want to be President? Who has
told you that if the PDP picks me that I will not defeat Asiwaju? Who has told
you? You don’t know maybe I will still contest. If I come out and they zone it
to the South-West and they say it’s Fayose, if they pick Asiwaju, I will defeat
him!”
He added, “I have never seen the quote. It is impossible.
How do I claim to be the husband of a woman in another man’s house? It is all
heresies. Loose talks! Listen, PDP government is far better than the APC
government in Nigeria. Would he (Tinubu) leave the APC people and come to give
me appointments or will he make me vice president, such that I work for the
APC? It is not possible. Tinubu is for the APC, I am for the PDP. All these
insinuations are just to call the dog a bad name so as to hang it.”
