Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has distanced himself from online reports linking him to the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2023 general elections in the state.
Fayose was accused to have said that he had nothing against Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, (LP ) but Tinubu is his choice.
“I have nothing against Atiku, Peter Obi is not my enemy but JAGABAN is my choice,” Fayose was alleged to have tweeted.
Debunking the statement, Lere Olayinka, Fayose’s media aide described the report as fake news.
“It is not true. He never said anything like that. Disregard the fake news,” he said.
Peter Ayodele Fayose is a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who contested in the party’s presidential primary but lost to the eventual winner Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
