2023: Fayose Joins Presidential Race – Denies Endorsing Peter Obi

Former Ekiti State Governor, South-West Nigeria, Ayodele Fayose, has indicated an interest in becoming Nigeria’s president in 2023.

Gatekeepers News reports that Fayose made this known in a statement he personally signed.

The statement read in part, “Report credited to me that I endorsed Peter Obi for President and zoning of the Presidency to the South-East is false.

“No doubt, I have great respect for Peter Obi as a leader and I respect his aspiration, but at no point did I endorse his presidential ambition or that the presidency be zoned to South-East.

“Rather, my take is that the presidency be zoned to the Southern part of Nigeria.

“May I also state clearly that I will be seeking the ticket of the PDP to contest the next presidential election.”
