Fayose: I’ll be first to speak if Tinubu reneges on campaign promises

Ayo Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti state, says he will not hesitate to speak out if President Bola Tinubu reneges on his campaign promises to Nigerians.

Speaking with reporters after meeting with the president at the Aso Villa on Thursday, Fayose said he is not timid and would not shy away from voicing out when things go wrong.

“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 said he is not desperate to take up an appointment in Tinubu’s administration but would support the government to deliver on its promises.

“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 do partisan politics again, I will be the husband of my wife at home,” he said.

“It is not a matter of party, Nigeria is bigger than all political parties and all interest groups. 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, we all can’t be on the appointment, whosoever makes it, either in the APC or in the attempt to have a government of national unity, it’s all about service.”
