Untold reason Fayose opted out of Tinubu’s cabinet

The camp of Atiku Abubakar in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has publicly exposed what it claims were the real reasons former Governor Ayodele Fayose said he will not accept a ministerial position in the Bola Tinubu government.

In an interview with Channels Television on Monday night, Fayose had openly declared that he was unavailable to be a minister in the Tinubu government. He had at the same time said that members of the G5 in the PDP notably, Nyesom Wike and Samuel Ortom should be made ministers for their contributions to the victory of Tinubu in the presidential election.

However, debunking Fayose’s claim that he does not want to be a minister in Tinubu’s government, special assistant to Atiku Abubakar on public communication, Phrank Shaibu in a statement while debunking the former Ekiti governor’s claim that he publicly campaigned for Tinubu said that he, Fayose, was mainly interested in stopping his ongoing prosecution by the EFCC more than any other thing.

He also said that Fayose was aware that he could not displace more prominent APC stakeholders in Ekiti State to become a minister in Tinubu’s government.

Shaibu said, “On September 20, 2022, Fayose, while addressing supporters in Ado Ekiti publicly stated that he would be supporting Waziri Atiku Abubakar despite Wike’s protests. A simple Google search will confirm this.

“Then after Tinubu’s dubious victory, Fayose quickly changed gears, stating that he was the one who delivered Ekiti State to the APC. This is his stock in trade. He is a lily-livered rabble-rouser who loves to be in the spotlight and pretends to be more popular than he really is.”

“This is the deception of the man. Aware of the fact that he cannot get a ministerial appointment because of people like Kayode Fayemi, Dele Alake and Dayo Adeyeye who are jostling for the Ekiti slot, Fayose is now running from pillar to post, trying to get an appointment for his son while also trying to get the government to withdraw his corruption case from court.

“With the weight of evidence presented by the EFCC and its star witness, Senator Musilu Obanikoro, Fayose is now desperately trying to get the case compromised or withdrawn. Nigerians should not be deceived by his antics.”

“Okezie Ikpeazu, the former governor of Abia State, also performed woefully in office. His successor has been complaining almost on a daily basis. But the EFCC will not prosecute him because of the G-5 connection. This is what they have turned the country into. No wonder they believe Nigeria needs an average mad person.”
