What I will do if Tinubu nominates me as a Minister – Fayose

Ayodele Fayose, the former governor of Ekiti State, has promised not to accept a cabinet post from President Bola Tinubu.
The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) two-term governor, Fayose, claimed in an interview with Channels Television’s Sunday Politics that he worked against Atiku Abubakar in the February 25, 2023 election.
He claimed that he backed Tinubu not because he needed an appointment with him but rather because he believes in him.
Seun Okinbaloye, the anchor, had asked Fayose if he would reject a ministerial offer if the president offered him, to which Fayose responded, “I will never accept it.”
He urged Tinubu to appoint to people below 65 years of age and ask those within the age brackets of 65 and 70 years to nominate younger persons.
He said the future of young persons had been stolen by the elderly ones and it was time to give the young the opportunity.
Asked why he worked against his party, Fayose said, “Do you expect me to work for a party that suspended my son? A party that expelled my son?
“I never worked for PDP during the last election. There’s no reason to hide that… The reality is that I worked for Asiwaju (Tinubu). He is a respectable person from the South-West. It is the turn of the South.”
“The same PDP, because I said it was the turn of the South, removed my son, suspended my son, expelled my son, suspended me. For a man that has suffered tremendously for PDP?”
Fayose, who visited Tinubu at Aso Rock last week, denied the rumour that it was over his case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“Tinubu has no power to stop my case with EFCC; do you expect him to ask EFCC to stop or he would call the judge and tell him what. The matter has been going on for five years now and as a defendant, I don’t want to comment on it.”
