As reported by Punch, the former governor said:
“I worked against him (Atiku) 100 per cent. Nigeria is bigger than the PDP, APC, and even Asiwaju (Tinubu) himself. Let us call a spade a spade."

Fayose, who was blunt in his expression, said he was prepared for whatever actions the PDP would take due to his decision to support President Tinubu.
He added that he was not scared or bothered about being booted out of the party if they no longer needed his services.
His words:
"I am not a man that will hide my action. If PDP doesn’t need me again, they cannot say I cannot live."
Why I Supported Tinubu - Fayose
He also noted that working for Tinubu was based on his conviction for justice, equity, and fairness, adding that the PDP had not been fair to him despite all his sacrifices and devotion to the party.
As reported by Daily Trust, Fayose said:
“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 vows to reject Tinubu’s ministerial offer if considered, gives reason
In another development, Ayodele Fayose disclosed his position on the much-anticipated ministerial appointments of President Bola Tinubu.
He urged President Tinubu to appoint young people below the age of 65-year-old to be members of his cabinet.
When asked if he would jump at the offer of being one of the cabinet members of President Tinubu, the ex-governor said he would decline the offer.
