For the umpteenth time, former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, said he would nit dump the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, for any other party.

The former governor spoke after visiting President Bola Tinubu at the State House, Abuja on Thursday.

Fayose, one of the major supporters of President Tinubu, congratulated him shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared him as the winner of the February election.

He also supported the G5 in the push for the resignation of the PDP’s former national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, ahead of the election.

Fayose, who addressed State House correspondents at the end of his meeting with the President, said he wants Tinubu’s administration to succeed, but he would not hesitate to criticise the government if it fails to fulfill its campaign promises to Nigerians.

He urged Nigerians to rally round the president, whom he said has good intentions for the country.

The former governor also ruled out a switch to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to him,“If the government in power is not doing the right thing, we’ll be courageous enough to tell the government in power.

“When Muhammadu Buhari was President in this country I didn’t shy away from telling him the truth and the government. If President Ahmed Bola Tinubu is shying away from his brief, I Ayo Fayose, Oshoko, will be courageous enough to tell him.

“I will never be a member of the All Progressives Congress. I am a PDP man, if anything takes me out of the PDP or if I don’t do partisan politics again, I will be the husband of my wife at home.”
