***‘I Give You 48 Hours To Withdraw The Statement’
Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has insisted that the recent meeting between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, with former Military President Ibrahim Babangida was about the 2027 election.
Fayose, in a statement on Thursday, said he was simply amused by the denial issued by Atiku’s media aide.
He also threatened that should Atiku fail to disown the statement by his media aide within forty-eight hours, he would reveal more details about the meeting which took place in Minna, Niger State, particularly, what was discussed about the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike.
In the words of Fayose, “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 authorise 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.
“Till then, we keep our gunpowder dry.”
