2023: Why I stepped down for Tinubu – Fayemi

Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has explained why he stepped down his 2023 presidential ambition Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Recall that Fayemi had gunned for the number one seat but pulled out at the 11th hour for tini.

Fayemi, in a series of tweets on Sunday evening, said he spent the weekend with Tinubu, who he described as a mentor and leader.

On his reason for making such a decision, Fayemi said that “Tinubu is one person that I have worked with in the democratic struggles and was one of the wheels on which the engine of NADECO spun in the dark days of authoritarian rule.

“He is tested and has more experience to steer the ship of our country from May 2023.”

“It was a real delight to spend the weekend with my leader and mentor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT who recently emerged as the Presidential Candidate of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 general election.

“I also had the opportunity to introduce Mr @biodunaoyebanji, APC candidate in the Ekiti gubernatorial election, scheduled for June 18, 2022.”
