The 94-year old Fasanmi, who made a request that Yoruba people should support a candidate who shares the visions of Awolowo, publicly endorsed Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State as a possible candidate for the 2023 presidency saying “Fayemi embodies the visions that Awolowo strived to actualize for Nigerians.”
Akintoye, who recalled the huge investment of Awolowo on education stated that “the progressives’ idea is the only way to make the people prosper”; adding that Fayemi has the right ideas which are similar to Awo’s. Akintoye equally called on Governor Fayemi to rise to the task ahead; stressing that Ekiti people must not let themselves “be intimidated by what exists” but push for “what is right”.He said: “Decent people of Ekiti should take the lead and help reposition the nation. I want to say that in 2023, we Ekiti want to aspire for what we have never aspired for. We want to produce the next president of Nigeria. We know that it takes the Ekiti character to rebuild Nigeria. Kayode has the right ideas.
