Why I visited Tinubu, by Fayose

Former governor of Ekiti State and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has explained why he paid a courtesy visit to a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, at his residence in Bourdillon, Ikoyi, Lagos on Tuesday.

Tinubu, a former Lagos governor, recently arrived from the United Kingdom where he went for a knee surgery.

Taking to his verified Facebook page, Fayose, who has publicly affirmed Tinubu as leader of the South-West despite being in different political parties, disclosed that ‘health issues know no political party’.

He wrote: “Today, I was at Bourdillon, Ikoyi, Lagos to wish Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu a quick recovery. Health issues know no political party and in this part of the world, we seldom celebrate people when they are alive. Rather, we like to sign condolence registers. To me, that is not the best way to live.

“Most importantly, politics should be about love for each other. Therefore, like other leaders in Nigeria, I wish Asiwaju sound and robust health. And to those negative political analysts, this visit notwithstanding, I remain an unrepentant PDP leader and key stakeholder.”
