2027: Makinde won’t run for presidency – Fayose

2027: Makinde won’t run for presidency – Fayose

 Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has
disclosed that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State will not contest the
presidency in 2027.

 

Fayose stated that Makinde informed him he would not allow
himself to be used against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.

 

He made this known while featuring on Channels TV’s Politics
Today.

 

According to Fayose: “When I saw an advert running on social
media, with all due respect to Makinde, I forwarded it to him, and he called me
to say he’s not running and does not know anything about those fliers. He has
not told me otherwise.

 

“I will not put words in his mouth; I will believe whatever
he told me as a brother. He told me that he will not be used against a Yoruba
man as president.

 

“I stand here to say Makinde will not run for president,
except if anything changes.

 

“There is no day you will satisfy people on this earth or in
any country at all. You own nothing—your wife is yours until you pass, your
house is yours until you pass.

 

“Today, you are not honourable until you leave. People are
now saying Jonathan should come back—the same Jonathan they drove out many
years ago.

 

“It is better to allow Asiwaju to conclude his tenure
because this is a southern slot. Let him fix the country, then we go back to
the North. The problem did not start today and it won’t end today; everybody is
just trying to make it better.”

 

He also declared that President Bola Tinubu should be
allowed to complete a second term in office.

 

Fayose questioned which viable opposition could challenge
Tinubu in 2027.

 

“For me, if you compare today and the past, you will still
give it to Bola Tinubu. Nobody is perfect, and the system is rotten. The
situation is not easy to manage, but when you compare inflation, you will
realise that it’s a far cry from the past.

 

“With the current state of the PDP, let’s assume that
Asiwaju is doing well or not—where is the party confronting him? Where is the
organised party confronting him?

 

“The majority of our governors are fighting for their own
survival, which is normal. Those who are bold, like me, and support Asiwaju
have come out and said it. Everybody is fighting for their own survival—and
that is the truth,” he added.
