Fayose Claims Makinde Vowed Not to Work Against Tinubu

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose says Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde once told him he would not allow anyone to use him against President Bola Tinubu. Fayose said Makinde made the remark after he sent him a television flyer promoting a possible Makinde presidential bid. According to Fayose, Makinde dismissed those behind the campaign as people seeking financial gain and said he would personally declare any ambition to run. Fayose also blamed Makinde’s political ambition for part of the PDP’s internal crisis. He alleged that Makinde took control of the party structure in Ekiti State, prompting him to withdraw from the party’s internal affairs. The claims are Fayose’s account of their private conversation and have not been independently verified in the report.
