Tinubu being Nigeria’s President is something I never believed. – Fayose
The erstwhile governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has said he never expected President Bola Tinubu to become Nigeria’s president.
Fayose recalled celebrating Tinubu on his birthday since 2015 but never knew he would become Nigeria’s president.
NewsReport Nigeria reports that speaking on Channels Television’s programme, Sunday Politics, Fayose said he has no regrets about clamoring for power to shift to Southern Nigeria ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
He also noted that he has never hidden his support for Tinubu as the leader of the Southwest.

According to Fayose, “I have never hidden my position on Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Let me remind you very quickly. I never knew Asiwaju would be president of Nigeria, and there was no time in 2015, 2016, 2017, or 2018 that I did not celebrate his birthday on the pages of newspapers as the then-governor of Ekiti State.
“One of the messages I passed across at that time was that party politics notwithstanding, he will remain our leader in the West for long.
“I never knew he would be president of Nigeria. I counted the costs before I took those actions. If Tinubu is not an example to identify with, somebody like me would not identify with him.”
Last week, Fayose visited Tinubu at the presidential Villa in Abuja.
Speaking after the visit, the former governor, who commended the president, vowed to tackle him if he derails from his promises to Nigerians.
