A former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has said that the coalition plan championed by Atiku Abubakar and Nasir El-Rufai against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu is a waste of time. 

Fayose also described the attempt by the duo to unseat the incumbent President via coalition as a ‘dead horse’.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Fayose said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) should focus on addressing the crisis within the party.

His words, “Their coalition is a dead horse ab initio. Tell me one positive person or well-respected Nigerian that has given his voice in support of this coalition.”

He explained that the rejection of coalition talks by members of the PDP Governors’ Forum was a warning to Atiku that he would not be getting support on the matter.

“The (PDP) governors’ actions and statement in Ibadan is to tell Atiku: we are not with you, we are going nowhere, we have our own identity.

“So, that coalition is just in the imagination of people trying to bring it to fruition. Let me say to you, it is a waste of time,” he said.
