Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose revealed that he declined an appointment offer from President Bola Tinubu in order to focus on his personal life after years of public service. Speaking on Channels Television’s *Politics Today*, Fayose stressed that his friendly relationship with Tinubu does not equate to a political alignment. When Tinubu asked which position he would accept, Fayose replied, “Nothing, sir.”
The 65‑year‑old Peoples Democratic Party chieftain explained that, having served twice as governor, he now prefers to prioritize his personal life and responsibilities at home. He expressed satisfaction with his past service, saying he has done well and is looking to the future.
Fayose’s decision underscores his commitment to stepping back from active politics and highlights the distinction between personal friendships and political affiliations. As a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, his choice is significant, especially given his leadership history in Ekiti State. Observers will watch closely to see how this move affects his future engagement with politics and public service, but for now he appears content to prioritize his personal pursuits after a long career in public office.
