Ayo Fayose who is also the former Governor of Ekiti State, has come out to openly debunk all the online reports which had been purporting that he had pledged to support Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who is the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general elections.
In a viral report, Fayose who is also a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was alleged to have said while he had nothing against Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) his choice in 2023 is Tinubu.

“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.
In another report, the crisis rocking the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday took a fresh as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, met with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and some PDP governors in London yesterday night.
Africa Daily News, New York reports that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, his Abia State counterpart, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, and other PDP stalwarts loyal to Wike attended the meeting.
It was earlier reported that Governor Wike and some of his allies travelled out of the country for what was described as a critical meeting on their political future.
The team, which comprised some PDP governors and other major personalities in Wike’s camp, were said to have left the country at the weekend, after the flag-off of new projects by the governor in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state.
Governor Wike had been engaged in a cold war with his party over his defeat at the PDP presidential primary and ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s choice of a running mate.
He recently gave the party some conditions for an amicable resolution of the crisis and is currently at loggerheads with other top party faithful in his state opposed to his antics.
