Polls: Fayose commends Obi, tells Atiku to accept defeat in maturity

 

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has advised presidential candidate of his party, Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar to ‘accept defeat in maturity and retire peacefully to Dubai’.

Fayose, however commended presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi for his impressive showing in the presidential polls.

The former Governor’s reaction is coming days after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted the presidential and national assembly elections nationwide.

The electoral umpire is now collating the results at the National Collation Centre, Abuja.

Fayose reacted in a series of tweets via his verified Twitter handle @GovAyoFayose

Our candidate, H.E. Atiku Abubakar (aka ‘Atiku is coming’) should accept defeat in maturity and retire peacefully to Dubai.
At this juncture, may I say good night and good bye to all you represent.— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) February 27, 2023

Therefore, no sense of comradeship with Obi will work. After all, they knew his potentials, yet, he was not deemed fit for the party’s ticket and he was eased out.
Today, he has retired all of them.— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) February 27, 2023

The present managers of the PDP need to be told that the sympathy of Nigerians is not for the party. They should stop hiding under Peter Obi’s LP to pretend to have a sense of patriotism that they don’t have.— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) February 27, 2023

I commend the courage and resilience the Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate HE. Peter Obi, for his uncommon and unprecedented outing and outcome of this election. It is not unexpected going by support he enjoys with Nigerians.— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) February 27, 2023
