Antecedent of Fayose, Dino's feud
Recall Legit.ng reported that Dino and Fayose were in war words when Fayose in an interview on Channels TV threw shots at Dino's allies and presidential hopefuls, Atiku Abubakar and Bukola Saraki.
Fayose in the interview had questioned the presidential bid of the duo whom he described as not being party loyalists.
However, Fayose's statement did not go down well with Dino who faulted him for berating his allies.
In a very figurative reply also on Channels TV which Dino was interviewed, he stated that Nigeria's presidency is not pomo and amala, making reference to Fayose's comment in an earlier interview with the TV station.
According to a report by TheCable, Dino while venting his displeasure over Fayose's comment sarcastically referred to Fayose as an unserious candidate.
He said:
“Inebriated by several wraps of amala in Abuja, former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, in his characteristic exuberance directed indecent and indecorous attacks at two serious contenders for the presidential ticket of the People’s Democratic Party, HE Atiku Abubakar and HE Bukola Saraki.
“Incidentally, the mauling of amala gained more publicity over the collection of the presidential nomination form, in a pretentious exhibition of dining with the masses.
“This frugal populism has since been deflated by allegations of charges for the ferreting of billions of naira from public coffers in Ekiti State. Is amala and abula so expensive?"
“The contest for the ticket of PDP and the presidency of Nigeria is a serious engagement. Those who aspire to the position must elevate themselves above pedestrian conduct and address real issues, rather than dwelling on inconsequential inanities.”
