The banner which has Fayose’s pictorial drawing, with a pair of glasses to match and a friendly smile also has its major slogan read, “Together, we can make Nigeria work again.”

However, some Facebook users did not waste time to register their opinion concerning the post.

For instance, a user, Franca Eyo Archibong, argued, “Presidential ticket has been zoned to the North by the PDP. Do, what’s this about???”

Another, Bolanle Bolawole, replied by saying, “That is debatable. Calculate how many years the North has ruled Nigeria since Independence in 1960 and you’ll see that the South still has a lot of catching up to do. It is the usual deceit when some people want to count from 1999 as if 1960 to 1999 is not part and parcel of the country’s history.”

And yet, another Facebook user, Ayegbusi Odunayo, said, “it is time for the southern region to contest, go Fayose go nothing shall stop you, ‘ni agbara olorun ati awaon to Nile. Osokomole yes ooo!!!”
