2023: Fayose Speaks On Contesting For Nigeria’s Presidency

Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has said the reason he is not thinking of contesting in the 2023 presidential election is because of his determination to ensure that there is unity in his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Fayose said this in an interview on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme on Wednesday evening.

“I believe that anyone who want to rule Nigeria must first govern his state. My work is to reunite all members of the state and the party to win the governorship election, whether the person is my candidate or not. Even if former governor Segun Oni wins the primaries, I will support him,” he said.

Meanwhile, there seems to be no end in sight to the crisis rocking the Ekiti state chapter of the PDP, as protesters in their numbers stormed the party national secretariat, Abuja, Wednesday, over what they alleged manipulation of the just concluded Ekiti governorship primary ward congress.
