Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti said on Friday that he attended the inauguration of Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo for Yoruba unity.

Fayose, a prominent member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said this in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti.

He said that he could not have done otherwise because the unity of Yoruba people was too important for anybody to play politics with.

“I see nothing wrong in attending the inauguration of an APC person in neigbouring Ondo State.

“Being a leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) should not stop me from attending the inauguration of an All Progressives Congress (APC) governor.”
According to him, such an occasion is a national one that well-meaning people should identify with.
‎
“This is a Nigerian affair; when a governor is sworn in, we have to support him; we are talking of regional integration and unity here; Akeredolu is already one of us by virtue of his new position.

“We have to support him since electioneering has come and gone and a winner has emerged, and we have to work together in the spirit of the people of our region.

“We cannot play politics with the welfare of the people of our region; we have to support Akeredolu to make the difference.
“This is a matter of the Yoruba nation and after Nigeria, Yoruba nation comes first‎; we don’t need to play politics with the welfare of Yoruba people.”

He advised that his actions in recent times should not be mistaken for an attempt by him to dump his party, the PDP, insisting that nothing of such was in the offing.

“How can I join the APC? As you already know, I am the main issue of the APC.
“They don’t have my size. They are wearing `babaringa’ but they don’t have the size of my cloth,” he said.(NAN)

What ojukwu failed to realize

Yorubas are indeed unique !!!

This is the 2nd best thing you ever said or did.

1st was the promulgation of a law to chelate the Fulani herdsmen.

Commendable.

THE FIRST TIME I AGREE WITH FAYOSE. AFTER ELECTION, PARTY DIFFERENCES SHOULD BE SET ASIDE. KUDOS TO FAYOSE FOR THIS.

dont mind that thief who has baby wash the mindset of Ekiti people with deception.

Faroese is on point on this one. You disagree, coman beat me.

Fayose fayose

The more we are together, the happier we shall be.

But next time, always tell your Internet foot soldiers that term & conditions apply to the political struggles.

all is fair in love and war

Who cares? Your explanation is needless and worthless.

Tout in power. Hero of ipob miscreants.

He Wants to join the winning team
GEJ see your spokesman

First thing I ever had from this man that make sense. hope he keep it up.

Hmmmm!
This man sha..
You ve got this one right though.
An act that should be emulated by others.

Yea, that's what a good leader ought to do, keeping politics aside to ensure there's unity among him and his people. If only the eastern leaders can emulate this, I'm 100% sure that they would obtain the highest leadership position in this country once again. But my problem with politicians is that they talk from both sides of their mouths. Who knows, Fayose might be "up to something"

If Hilary Clinton can Attend the inauguration of Donald Trump, why can't Fayose attend Akeredolu's Inauguration...... Africans with shallow and childish politics are like 5&6.....i no get that Zuma pics nio
