Atiku visits Fayose in Ekiti (Photo)

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday visited Ekiti State where he held talks with the state Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose and leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Atiku touchdown at the airport in Akure where Fayose took other PDP leaders to receive him before heading to Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state capital city.

Atiku said he chose Ekiti as first state to be visited, because of Fayose’s role as opposition leader and chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum.

He commended Fayose for various projects being executed in the state.

Atiku said Fayose’s popularity in Ekiti and Nigeria was not in doubt as he has been acknowledged as “frank, bold and straight forward politician.”





He said: “Since my return to PDP, this is the first state I am visiting to consult with leadership and party members.

“Governor Fayose and I had struck a relationship during his first tenure and I respect him for this.”
