He, however, noted that his reason for supporting Tinubu was not to lobby for a political appointment but solely because he believed in him.
When asked if he would accept a ministerial offer from President Tinubu, Fayose said, “I will never accept it,” Daily Trust reported.
He said:
“I never worked for PDP during the last election. There’s no reason to hide that… The reality is that I worked for Asiwaju (Tinubu). He is a respectable person from the South-West. It is the turn of the South.”
“The same PDP, because I said it was the turn of the South, removed my son, suspended my son, expelled my son, suspended me. For a man that has suffered tremendously for PDP?”
Fayose, who recently visited Tinubu at the presidential villa, also disclosed why he worked against the PDP.
He said:
“Do you expect me to work for a party that suspended my son? A party that expelled my son?"
The ex-governor appealed to President Tinubu to make his ministerial nominations of people below 65.
He said older people had stolen young people's future, and it was time to give them the opportunity.
