Former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose has finally spoken for the first time since Saturday night when he scored zero vote in the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential primaries.
Fayose was one fourteen presidential aspirants who battled for the main opposition party’s sole presidential ticket, but failed to score a single vote.
However, he has finally broken his silence, congratulating the winner, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and commending Governor Nyesom Wike, who came second.
“To this end, I congratulate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar our flag-bearer and wish him and our party success in the general election
“I congratulate former VP Atiku Abubakar over his emergence as the PDP presidential candidate. I also commend Governor Nyesom Wike for remaining consistent in action and character,” Fayose tweeted.
Recall that Atiku emerged the presidential candidate of the PDP for the 2023 general election with 371 votes, defeating his closest challenger, Wike, who polled 237 votes.
Full details of the results from the exercise are as follows:
Atiku Abubakar – 371; Nyesom Wike- 237; Bukola Saraki – 70; Udom Emmanuel – 38; Balla Mohammed – 20; Pius Anyim – 14; Sam Ohabunwa – 1; and Olivia Tariela scored 1. There were 12 void votes.
