Fayose Speaks On Taking Ministerial Appointment From Tinubu

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has denied nursing any plan to accept a ministerial position from President Bola Tinubu.

According to Fayose, he is not interested in any ministerial appointment.

Speaking on Sunday during an interview on Channels TV, the former Governor urged Tinubu to apportion 40 percent of his cabinet members to people above 60 years of age and 70 years of age, 30 percent to women, and 30 percent to young people.

EFCC Case

On the trial against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Fayose said he is not visiting President Tinubu for him to intervene in the matter.

Fayose, who met with Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja, on Thursday, July 6, 2023, said the President does not have the power to stop his trial by the EFCC.

“Tinubu has no power to stop EFCC trial,” he said.

I Worked For Tinubu

Earlier, Naija News reported that Fayose during the interview, confirmed that he worked for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election.

Fayose, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) added that he worked totally against the party’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

The former Governor submitted that it was wrong of the PDP to have given its ticket to Atiku who is a northerner since Muhammadu Buhari who is also a northerner was just completing eight years in the seat of power.

He added that it was time for the South to take over, hence his decision to support Tinubu.

Fayose also stated that the PDP has not been fair to him.
