You Think I Will Take What Fayose Said Seriously; I Am In The Senate, Where Is Fayose—Aminu Tambuwal

In a recent interview aired by Arise TV, Aminu Tambuwal, the former Governor of Sokoto State and current Senator, addressed accusations made by former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose.

Tambuwal dismissed Fayose’s claims of betrayal and the prayer for his electoral defeat, stating that he didn’t take these comments seriously.

Tambuwal highlighted the outcome of his senatorial election, noting that despite Fayose’s appeal to Sokoto voters to reject him, he was successfully elected.

He emphasized this point by saying, “You think I will take what Fayose said seriously, even the people of Sokoto state that he appealed to not to vote for me didn’t take him seriously, they voted for me and I won. I am in the Senate, where is Ayo Fayose?”

This statement not only refutes Fayose’s influence but also pointedly contrasts their current political positions. Tambuwal, now a sitting Senator, implicitly highlights Fayose’s lack of a comparable political office

Regarding allegations of election rigging, Tambuwal offered his perspective on the practice. He suggested that rigging typically occurs in areas where the perpetrators have a strong presence or influence.

In his case, Tambuwal claimed that those who attempted to rig against him lacked sufficient strength to succeed in their efforts….Viêw_ More
