A former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has boldly declared that he will not hesitate to hold President Bola Tinubu accountable if he fails to fulfill his campaign promises to the Nigerian people.
Fayose, known for his outspoken nature, made this statement during a press briefing after a meeting with President Tinubu at the Aso Villa on Thursday.
Addressing reporters, Fayose asserted his unwavering commitment to speaking up when things go wrong, irrespective of any personal or political considerations. He assured the press that he possesses the courage to confront issues head-on without shying away.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the press, let me tell you, if Asiwaju turns back on his promises, all he said when he was campaigning, I will be the first to talk,” the former governor said. “I am not timid and I do not shy away from facing challenges.”
Fayose emphasized that his intention is not to secure an appointment in Tinubu’s administration, but rather to lend his support in ensuring the government delivers on its commitments. While clarifying his political stance, he firmly stated that he remains a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and has no aspirations to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I will never be a member of the APC. I am a PDP man, if anything takes me out of the PDP or if I don’t engage in partisan politics again, I will be the husband of my wife at home,” Fayose affirmed.
He further emphasized that Nigeria’s interests transcend political parties and affiliations, highlighting the need for all citizens to work towards the betterment of the nation.
“It is not a matter of party; Nigeria is bigger than all political parties and all interest groups,” he added. “I want to tell you again, you don’t have to take an appointment to make a difference.
“Nigeria has a population of about 200 million, and we all can’t hold positions. Whosoever makes it, either in the APC or in the attempt to have a government of national unity, it’s all about service.”
