EKO HOT BLOG reports that Fayose made the statement in a video posted on his official Facebook page on Monday while reacting to criticisms surrounding Obi’s reported move to the Nigerian Democratic Congress.
The development followed reports that Obi and former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, left the African Democratic Congress for the NDC.
The move has drawn criticism from members of the All Progressives Congress, who accused both politicians of frequently switching parties.
Responding to the criticism, Fayose insisted that his support for Obi is based on personal conviction, adding that he and other supporters are willing to follow him regardless of his political platform.
He also accused the APC of interfering in opposition parties despite controlling a majority of states.
He said, “Your current president moved from SDP to AD, ACN and APC. Anywhere Peter Obi decides to go, we will follow him because we believe in him.
“If the APC is sure of victory, why are the members putting their hands in all other parties? I thought they had over 32 governors; why are they still putting their fingers in other parties?
“If we like, we can move to NNN; that’s our own. Obi is our party.”
