A motion for President Tinubu’s endorsement was moved by Senator Opeyemi Bamidele and seconded by the federal lawmaker from Ekiti East, Emure and Gboyin constituency, Femi Bamisile.
The motion was adopted by the crowd through thunderous voice votes. The three former governors said President Tinubu deserves a second term given his purported developmental strides in infrastructure, agriculture, education, economy, healthcare, youth development, and other pivotal areas.
At the event on Monday, July 28, Fayose pulled up a drama when he appeared with the branded cap of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The former governor also claimed that he remained the record-holder of elections in the state, stating that he won all the local governments in Ekiti, and he was also congratulated by his opposition after the result was announced.
With his PDP-branded cap at the rally, the estranged PDP member explained that his loyalty to the party remained unshaken, adding that, irrespective of the endorsement, he would not be leaving his party, and he had no intention to dump the PDP.
Fayose explained that the gathering was important and unique because key former governors in the state, including himself, were present at the event to announce their endorsement of President Tinubu and Governor Biodun Oyebanji.
