Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has debunked claims from some quarter that he has endorsed the aspiration of the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2023 Presidency.

The two-term Ekiti State Governor denied the report of Tinubu’s endorsement in a report  in the Punch Newspaper, stressing that if his Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, gives him Presidential ticket, he would defeat the former Lagos state governor.

According to him: “I have said it over and over, Asiwaju remains a Yoruba leader; I remain a Yoruba leader. We are at different levels of leadership. But if I am being misquoted for the fact that I said Asiwaju is a Yoruba leader, I am saying I am a Yoruba leader, but Asiwaju in his own Yoruba leadership is in the APC; Ayo Fayose in his own leadership is in PDP,”

“Who has told you that I don’t want to be President? Who has told you that if the PDP picks me that I will not defeat Asiwaju? Who has told you? You don’t know, maybe I will still contest. If I come out and they zone it to the South-west, and they say it’s Fayose, if they pick Asiwaju, I will defeat him.

“I have never seen the quote. It is impossible. How do I claim to be the husband of a woman in another man’s house? It is all heresies. Loose talks. Listen, the PDP Government is far better than the APC Government in Nigeria.

“Would he (Tinubu) leave the APC people and come to give me appointments, or will he make me Vice President, such that I work for the APC? It is not possible. Tinubu is for the APC, I am for the PDP. All these insinuations are just to call the dog a bad name to hang it.”
