Femi Fani-Kayode, via a statement issued on Saturday, has explained why he stood by Fayose during his presidential declaration.
According to him, he shares similar qualities with Fayose, adding that Fayose “would make an excellent president and effect the necessary changes and the restructuring that our country desperately needs’.
‘we came from completely different backgrounds and we do not agree on everything, but we have a similar disposition and we share the same perspective on most things. Fayose is not bound up in fear and he is not chained down by political correctness. He speaks the raw and bitter truth and he stands up for the weak and the defenceless. We both love God and we are both men of strength, courage, faith and destiny. The spirit of David and Jehu runs through us both. We neither fear death nor incarceration and we hate injustice, evil and oppression. The truth is that he has done an excellent job in Ekiti State and he has consistently and fearlessly stood against the evil of the Buhari administration. He has constantly kept them on their toes. He is a Yoruba man who has the courage and conviction to say that he wants to be president. Why would I not stand with him and attend the launch of his campaign?’.
