‘No Apology For My Action’ – Fayose Speaks On Joining The APC

A former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has said he owes no one an apology for supporting the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

According to him, his support for Tinubu, who is now the president-elect, was purely based on the principles of equity as it was time for southern Nigeria to take over power at the federal level.

Fayose, as learnt by Naija News, however, insisted that his support for Tinubu would never make him join the APC.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, he said that it was obvious the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was fractured and never prepared for the 2023 elections.

He said “Many people in Nigeria have been confronted with what they have said at different times and they either recant or say something new. I stand here to tell you that I will never be a member of the APC. I am not in politics for what it is anymore. I have been given a fair opportunity to lead Ekiti two times and defeated two incumbents.

“I have no apology for my action now and in the future. I have not hidden my respect for Bola Asiwaju.”

Fayose also warned leaders in the country to be ready because it’s not going to be business as usual, considering the events that led to the 2023 general election.

He stated that “Young people did not hide their disdain. They went for the leaders’ neck and took it out, sacked them, and occupied the space. Let me tell you again, this is a warning and further warning for those people coming in and returning that if you mess with the people, they will mess with you in four years’ time.”
