APC Has Lost Its Bearing – Fayose

EKO HOT BLOG reports that a former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has said the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), must produce Nigeria’s next president in 2023, as the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) “has lost its bearing”.

Fayose said this in an interview on Politics Today, on Channels Television on Wednesday.

“PDP must produce the next president in Nigeria. There is nobody that can vote for this party (APC) again. The government has lost its bearing on how to control the country. People are hungry, you are building rice pyramid. Carry the rice to the grassroot,” he said.

He praised the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, whom he said had conducted himself with discipline and decorum.

Fayose’ s relationship with Tinubu

When asked to speak on his relationship with the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, he said he has respect for the presidential hopeful as a Yoruba leader, but his allegiance is to his party, the PDP.

Furthermore, Fayose said the reason he is not interested in contesting in the 2023 presidential election is because of his determination to ensure there is unity in his party in Ekiti State.

“I believe that anyone who want to rule Nigeria must first govern his state. My work is to reunite all members of the state and the party to win the governorship election, whether the person is my candidate or not. Even if former governor Segun Oni wins the primaries, I will support him,” he said.
