Explaining what led to the defeat of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP, during the poll, Fayose said the former vice president did not make a move on the formation of the G5.
He alleged that Atiku was silent when Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party during the presidential poll, could not address many issues raised by governors and other southern blocs in the party.

The former governor then swiped Arise Television for acting like an opposition in the build-up to the presidential election and attacked the presenter, Rufai Oseni, for taking issues personally against the candidates he did not like.
He stressed that the fact that one's candidate did not win the election does not mean the process was wrong, as he advised journalists to be professional in their dealings.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the former Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, has dismissed any possibility of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of PDP and Labour Party unseating Bola Tinubu in court.
Fayose said the election had come and gone, and those planning to upturn the president-elect's victory were only daydreaming.
According to the former governor, ex-US President Donald Trump is still protesting that he was rigged out of the country's election.
