We Told Atiku To Make A Statement That He Will Not Do Two Tenures But He Said He Can’t- Ayo Fayose
Ayo Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti State, has disclosed the demand they made of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate, when he visited Nyesom Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, after Wike clinched the party’s presidential nomination. They told Atiku to officially state that he will not serve two terms as president if he wins, but he said he can’t say that, according to Fayose, who made this revelation in an interview on News Central TV.
“Wike lost the presidential primary elections,” he stated. I acted as the spokesperson when Atiku visited Wike’s home. His excellency Atiku Abubakar was warmly welcomed by Wike, and during our conversation I advised him to slice the yam in a way that will make it appetizing. What requirements were made of Atiku? Wike never requested to be a minister. Wike acknowledged that a vice presidential candidate was already in the race and that he was the candidate.
Make a public declaration that you won’t serve two terms, was the query. He reportedly stated that he would be unable to attend. He is not permitted to use such language. He will know what to say when he arrives.
In addition, Fayose explained why they want Atiku to agree to a single term. Because of his age, he said. At the time, he was 76; in 4 years, he will be 80. Additionally, Buhari will be serving his final eight years in office. Our people need to witness your personal promise that you would only serve one term and that it won’t last 16 years in the North in order for us to equally collaborate and agree with you on another 4 years. That was therefore acceptable.
