Why I Rejected Tinubu’s Appointment - Fayose

October 17, 2025

Fayose spoke when he appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.

 
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has revealed he rejected offer of appointment from President Bola Tinubu.
 
He stated this while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
 
Fayose said he chose to step back from active politics after decades of service, stressing that at 65, his priority is to focus on personal responsibilities rather than seeking political appointments.

“Asiwaju asked me, ‘Oshoko, what would we give you?’ I said, ‘Nothing, sir,’” Fayose revealed.
 
“At 65, I would rather be at home, being more responsible and doing other things that I need to do. I have served well, two-term governor, I have done well. Let tomorrow hold itself.”
 
The former governor, who described Tinubu as “a friend and brother,” however, clarified that his cordial relationship with the President does not mean he is “hobnobbing” with the APC.
 
Fayose also took a swipe at his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), declaring it “dead” and beyond revival.
 
According to him, the party has lost its relevance and influence in Nigeria’s political landscape.

“Let me tell you, the PDP is gone. I won’t be among those that will resurrect it,” he said, adding that several governors still in the party are already making moves to defect to the APC.
 
He also defended President Tinubu over the recent defection of Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah and Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri to the APC, saying it would be unfair to blame the President for the collapse of the PDP.
 
Fayose further acknowledged Labour Party’s Peter Obi as the only opposition figure still commanding public attention.

“The only opposition that still has traction is Obi, no other one,” he stated.

“People don’t listen to Atiku or the others anymore. Obi is everywhere, even without being in government. I give it to him,” he said.
 
Fayose, who twice served as governor of Ekiti State, said he remains committed to democratic ideals but has chosen to focus on personal pursuits rather than partisan politics.
