Fayemi ‘sacrifices ambition’ for ‘elder brother’ Tinubu
Current Ekiti State governor Kayode Fayemi Tuesday night withdrew from the All Progressives Congress’s presidential primary and endorsed former Lagos State governor Bola Tinubu.
Fayemi said “stepping down” for the former Lagos State governor was a not favour but a duty. He, however, said the decision was difficult but necessary.
Apart from asking delegates from his state to vote for him, Fayemi also pledged to help Tinubu win the presidency if he wins the primary election.
Fayemi, who recalled his years as an activist and as a champion for the entrenchment of democratic rule, remarked that Tinubu remains the best aspirant to be the standard-bearer of the party.
