Presidential ambition: Why I am standing with Fayose – Fani-Kayode

A former Minister of Aviation , Chief Femi Fani - Kayode , has said he was standing with the Governor of Ekiti State , Mr . Ayodele Fayose , in his declaration to run as president in 2019
because he has immense courage .


He also said, though , they come from different backgrounds and may not agree on everything , they have a similar disposition .


In a statement sent to our correspondent , the former Aviation Minister said, “ We come from completely different backgrounds and we do not agree on everything but we have a similar disposition and we share the same perspective
on most things.


“ He is not bound up in fear and he is not chained down by political correctness. He speaks the raw and bitter truth and he stands up for the weak and the defenceless .


“ Like me he moves in the prophetic and his source of strength is the Spirit and power of God .


“ We both love God and we are both men of strength, courage , faith and destiny . 


“ The Spirit of David and Jehu runs through us both. We neither fear death nor incarceration and we hate injustice , evil and oppression .


“ The truth is that he has done an excellent job in his Ekiti 
state and he has consistently and fearlessly stood against the evil of the Buhari administration and constantly kept them on

their toes.

“ He is a Yorubaman who has the courage and conviction to say that he wants to be President .


Why would I not stand with him and attend the launching of his campaign?”


Fani - Kayode added that he believed that Fayose would make an excellent President and effect the necessary changes and restructuring that the country desperately needed .


He said he was very proud of Fayose and will never desert or abandon him.


“ He is and will always be my friend and brother , ” he added
