Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti State, has stated that President Bola Tinubu and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde are not comparable.
Despite being a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP, Fayose stated that supporting President Bola Tinubu does not constitute anti-party action.
Noting that political differences are a typical aspect of democracy, he underlined that national interest should take precedence over party allegiance.
At the PDP’s national convention on Sunday in Abuja, he gave a speech to Channels Television.
“You are an Ekiti man before you become a political party card bearer; Nigeria is for all of us.” The current governor has the support of all previous governors, he declared.
To bolster his claims, he also provided instances from global politics.
“Have they evicted Obama and the former president because they are not endorsing the Democrats or Trump? He said, “No, democracy will have those differences on national issues.”
Fayose went on to say that competence, not party allegiance, should be the basis for support.
“We cannot claim that a member of our party must win when we are aware that they are incapable of doing so. He said, “Would you compare an Asiwaju with a Makinde?”
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike led one group of the PDP, while Makinde and Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed led the other.
The national convention of the Mohammed and Makinde group was conducted in Ibadan, Oyo State, but the Appeal Court in Abuja declared it to be invalid.
