Former governor of Ekiti, Ayo Fayose, on Thursday, visited President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, vowing thereafter that he will be the first to descend on the president if he fails to fulfil his campaign promises.
Speaking to newsmen late after their closed-door meeting, he, however, noted that President Tinubu had performed creditably well so far, since he came into office and should therefore be encouraged to continue.
He said elections have since been concluded, now is the time for governance, just as he urged Nigerians to rally round the president who, he said, is alert and has a clear direction as to where he wants to take the country.
Fayose, however, said there is need for Nigerians to join hands with President Tinubu, noting that governance is a collective responsibility of all citizens.
According to the former governor, even though he and some other opposition party leaders such as Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde and former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, are working with Tinubu, he can never join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as he remains a staunch member of the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Fayose said he did not expect Tinubu to fail, but added that in the event of failure to deliver on the promises Tinubu made, he’d be the first to attack him accordingly.
