The Convener of Southwest Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA), Oyetunde Ojo, has claimed that former Ekiti State Governors Ayodele Fayose and Segun Oni are working for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Speaking on Thursday at a strategic meeting with SWAGA members across the 16 local government areas of the state, Ojo said some political heavyweights in the Southwest are also working for Tinubu.

Leaders across political parties, Ojo said, would openly identify with and declare support for Tinubu in the coming days, claiming that Southwest leaders have unanimously pitched their tents with the APC flag bearer while working assiduously behind the scene to ensure his victory.

He said that Fayose and Oni had not hidden their untiring love and preference for Asiwaju Tinubu, adding that leaders of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and Social Democratic Party (SDP) across the six geo-political zones have approached SWAGA’s leadership to express their willingness to work for Asiwaju Tinubu.

Ojo said: “To be honest, Asiwaju Tinubu will win the coming election. This is a man that is loved by the masses, traders, market women, as well as traditional rulers. He is equally well-received by opposition parties.

“Let me take former Governor Ayodele Fayose, for example. He is in the PDP, but he has been saying he wants Asiwaju Tinubu as President. And I can even tell you that Otunba Segun Oni is in SDP, but deep in his mind, he can’t vote against Asiwaju Tinubu.

“It’s not anti-party. It’s a personal issue and relationship they have with Tinubu. Governor Fayose has been saying it even though Governor Oni is a bit quiet about it, but I know in his mind he can’t work against Tinubu.”
