Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, had said he would call out President Bola Tinubu if he fails to fulfil his campaign promises.
Fayose made this known while addressing State House Correspondents shortly after a closed-door meeting with the President at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
“If Asiwaju turns back on his promise, all he said when he was campaigning, I will be the first to talk. I am not timid,” he said.
However, he noted that Tinubu had done well since assuming office and should be encouraged.
“The steps so far taken can readily give us the direction of this government. Elections have come and gone, without prejudice to the courts.
“But it’s no more time for campaigning or selling a political party, it is time to govern Nigeria for the benefit of children yet unborn and those of us that are still here and to equally let you know that I had a very wonderful time with the President.
“You will see him very alert and very clear in the direction he wants to take the country, but he can’t do it alone, he needs all of us,” said Fayose.
He said he would not hesitate to criticise him if he reneges on his promises to Nigerians.
“I want to say to you that Nigerians know me very well when President Buhari was to come. From day one, I made it very clear that the president will not do well. I did not hide it.
“Let me tell you, if Asiwaju turns back on his promise, all he said when he was campaigning, I will be the first to talk. I am not timid o and I don’t shy away from facing challenges.
“But the man I saw today and for the actions we have seen, means well for Nigeria,” said Fayose
