Online reports purporting that he has vowed to support Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general elections, has been denied by former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose.
Earlier, there was a viral report that Fayose, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), pledged to support Tinubu against Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).
“I have nothing against Atiku, Peter Obi is not my enemy but JAGABAN is my choice,” Fayose was alleged to have tweeted.
Debunking the statement, Lere Olayinka, Fayose’s media aide described the report as fake news.
“It is not true. He never said anything like that. Disregard the fake news,” he said.
