2023: I Will Defeat Tinubu If……— Fayose

Former Ekiti State Governor, South-West Nigeria, and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Ayodele Fayose says he would defeat the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu if given the party’s ticket in 2023.

Gatekeepers News reports that Fayose said this in an interview with Punch correspondent.

Fayose said though he hasn’t declared his intention to run for president yet, but said it’s not impossible that he contests.

He added that If PDP does not win the 2023 election, then Nigerians are doomed.

Fayose said, “Tinubu is for APC, I am for PDP. All these insinuations are just to call the dog a bad name and hang it.

“I have said it over and over, Asiwaju remains a Yoruba leader; I remain a Yoruba leader.

“We are in 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 the 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 South-West and they say it’s Fayose, if they pick Asiwaju, I will defeat him!”
