was mounted on him from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to back
Kayode Fayemi, the APC candidate, against his party's flag bearer,
Kolapo Olusola.
Fayose disclosed this on Tuesday night while featuring in a programme
on the state-owned radio and television station in Ado-Ekiti.
He, however, stated that he rejected their plea and would not betray
people of Ekiti as a man of principle and integrity.
"They (APC) approached me to negotiate with them and trade away the
ticket of Olusola to pave the way for the victory of Fayemi.
"They cited examples of leaders who had done that before and wished I
do the same.
"But I bluntly told them that I will never do that. If others are
doing it, I am not like them. I have integrity. I am set for another
defeat of Fayemi and the APC. After Ekiti, we shall move to higher
level in Abuja.
"They said I am stubborn, I told them I am stubborn because I am a man
with principles. Ekiti people know where I stand. I will not betray
Ekiti people who love me and my party," Fayose said.
