Why Is No One Talking About Fayose’s Presidential Ambition?

When candidates who are expected to contest the PDP presidential candidates are mentioned, only the likes of Atiku, Kwankwanso, Tambuwa and Saraki come up.

Yet, Ayo Fayose has never missed any opportunity before now to tell anyone who cares to listen that he would be contesting for the presidential election in 2019. He has even boasted on more than one occasion that he would be replacing President Buhari. On all of these occasions he was ignored by the media team of APC.

In an attempt to achieve his aim, he tried to hijack the PDP in connivance with Wike by installing Sheriff who turned out to be a bone in the neck.

Since he lost the gubernatorial election in Ekiti State where he was effectively the candidate as against the real candidate, his party the PDP seems to have completely ignored him. PDP is now more preoccupied with courting the likes of Saraki, Tambuwa and Kwankwanso these days, leaving the man who took it upon himself to continually insult Buhari to stand on his own.

He has become so irrelevant that even when Wike went to convince Saraki to join PDP, Fayose was not invited.

Power truly is transient, even the wise struggle to use it properly. It’s worse for the unwise.
