The younger brother of the former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, Isaac, has described ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar‘s plan to contest the 2027 presidential election as selfish.
NOP NIGERIA reports that Fayose’s remarks follow Atiku’s recent remarkon Arise Television that the 2027 general election will be his final opportunity to become Nigeria’s president.
Reacting, Fayose, in a post via his social media page, questioned Atiku’s decision to consider another run, arguing that it disregards the prevailing political sentiment on power rotation.
Fayose further stated that Atiku’s coming back to the ballot means he is working for President Bola Tinubu.
He said, “So Atiku wan come back to do what? To contest another time? That shows he is a very selfish man and a selfish leader.
“How can Atiku be thinking of coming back? Where is the energy? Over 70 percent of Nigerians are below 50 or 60. What is going on? This is selfishness.
“You contesting again, you don try, try. Even the president Tinubu don try to make you president, you failed sir. It is southern time, allow us to have our eight years. That is being selfish.
“It is southern time. Allow us to have our eight years. That is fairness.
“Atiku coming back to be on the ballot means he is working for Tinubu.
“Because Atiku son already is with Tinubu. Why will Atiku want to come back when we still have four years South?”
