Ekiti State Governor and presidential aspirant, Kayode Fayemi, has argued that his decision to contest in the 2023 presidential election is not a betrayal as the position is open for everybody to contest.
Dismissing that he had betrayed the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu by his action, Fayemi said the office of the President is not anybody’s inheritance.
He made these comments while featuring on Channels Television Wednesday night, stating that his presidential aspiration was to make a difference in the lives of Nigerians.
He said, “The Asiwaju that I know and have interacted with will not subscribe to demonising anyone. I don’t believe that he would use terminologies like betrayal, this is not an inheritance; it is not a traditional title that we are seeking.
“The office that we are seeking is to make a difference in the lives of Nigerians. It is about Nigeria which is the commonwealth of all Nigerians.”
Recall that Fayemi is a close ally of Tinubu and has officially joined the Presidential race despite Tinubu’s earlier declaration for the same seat.
