Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose
Ekiti
State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has said that the governorship candidate of
the All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) is
not a candidate of the North.
The governor stated this in a statement
by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka, on Sunday.
Fayose said, “Shouldn’t it interest
Nigerians, especially northerners, that only Mallam Nasir el-Rufai was a
northerner among those who attended last Thursday’s Chatham House
event?
“During the APC primary, delegates from
the North voted for former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar and Governor
Rabiu Kwankwaso. Only delegates controlled by Tinubu, Governor Rotimi
Amaechi and Senator Bukola Saraki voted for Buhari.
“In appreciation of Tinubu’s role, Buhari
gave him (Tinubu) the sole right to choose his running mate, with
Tinubu still being rumoured to be interested in the Vice-President
position that he gave his surrogate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
“All these point to the fact that Tinubu
and his cabal have a sinister agenda against the North, which they want
to use Buhari to achieve.”
