A former Governor of Ekiti State and a staunch member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ayodele Fayose, has insisted that there is a need for the Nigerian Constitution be reviewed to make provisions for the rotation of power in successive tenures; as he maintained that the Presidential Candidate of the main opposition party and a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, was not supposed to have participated in the election that led to the emergence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Ekiti bigwig had said, “The former Vice President, sincerely, was not supposed to participate in the last election.”

The former Ekiti Governor, who spoke during an interview on Hard Copy, a Channels Television programme, said the reason why the All Progressive Congress (APC), was able to defeat the PDP to clinch power in 2015 was because former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan participated in the contest. He maintained that there is a need for rotation of power in successive tenures, so that all regions would be represented in government.

Ayodele Fayose said his decision to back President Tinubu during the contest was only because of the need to have a Southern President. He maintained that Nigeria might have been facing a bigger problem if a northerner had won the election.
