Fayose made the revelation on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, stressing that despite maintaining a friendly rapport with Tinubu, their relationship does not translate into political collaboration.
“Have you seen me taking appointment from the APC? Asiwaju asked me, ‘What would we give you?’ I said, ‘Nothing, sir.’ At 65, I’d rather be at home, being more responsible, doing other things that I need to do. I’ve served well. Two-time governor. I’ve done well. Tomorrow will hold itself,” Fayose stated.
The former two-time governor’s comments highlight a deliberate choice to step back from formal political roles, signalling a period of personal focus after a long career in governance.
