Don’t expect me to insult Asiwaju Tinubu- Ayo Fayose

The former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has declared that he will refrain from insulting Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, in order to demonstrate that he does not support his ambitions.

Fayose pointed out that despite their political differences with President Muhammadu Buhari, certain northern governors and lawmakers avoid insulting words.

He referred to Tinubu as a Yoruba leader and added that he holds PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar in the same regard as the APC leader.

“Let me tell you: if people are expecting me to abuse Tinubu to show that I am not supporting him, I would not do that,” Fayose said.

“If the only way to demonstrate to everybody that I am Bola Tinubu’s enemy is to come out as a Yoruba man and insult Bola Tinubu, I will never do it.

“Listen to me, Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu are over 70 years old leaders, why were they sitting together to rub minds and did not carry cutlasses against it each other? Count me out of that (insulting Tinubu).

“I am not going to be insulting Atiku. I am not going to be insulting Tinubu.”
