• Ayo Fayose threatens further revelations from Atiku, Makinde’s visit to IBB

    Ayo Fayose

    Former Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose has threatened to make further revelation from last weeks meeting between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde.
    The former governor while warning Atiku to call his aids to order and retracts a rejoinder written by one of Atiku’s aids, gave a 24 hours notice for the withdrawal of what he called an un authorized statement by Atiku himself.
    Fayose wrote on his X handle:

    I saw the response of one Paul Ibe, one of the Media Aides to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to my release on what transpired at his (Atiku) meeting in Minna, with Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, and I can’t but be amused.

    However, because of my respect for Atiku, I will want to assume that he did not authorize the press statement and I will expect that after seeing it, he will within 48 hours, cause a rebuttal to be issued on it.

    Should Atiku not publicly disown the statement within the next 48 hours, I will have no option but to spill more beans (the facilitors and executioners) of the Minna meeting, particularly what was said about Wike) and by then, I will be doing so without any atom of respect for him.

    Phrank Shaibu, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar had earlier called Fayose’s earlier revelation as reckless and malicious fabrication titled “Between Atiku and Makinde, Untold Story of What Happened in Minna.

    He also denied any negotiation taking place during the meeting.

    This was published on his X handle:

    ”Our attention has been drawn to a reckless and malicious fabrication titled “Between Atiku and Makinde, Untold Story of What Happened in Minna Yesterday,” attributed to one Peter Ayodele Fayose”.

    ”Let it be stated clearly: the entire publication is a shameless concoction — a tissue of lies stitched together by a serial purveyor of political gossip whose relevance survives only on controversy, distortion, and cheap propaganda”.

    ”At no time did former Vice President Atiku Abubakar engage in the imaginary horse-trading described in that laughable script”.

    ”There were no negotiations over vice-presidential tickets. There were no discussions about ₦10 billion contributions. There were no zoning manipulations. There were no delegate-delivery guarantees. And there is certainly no clandestine “Dubai meeting” on any such agenda”.
