According to report, he gave a speech at the Multinationals Sourcing Service Centre, PAzhou Trade Complex, Guangzhou, China, canvassing for the support and empowerment of Nigeria.

Fayose had on Tuesday, April 12, written a letter to the Chinese government not to borrow Nigeria $2 billion in loan for which purpose President Muhammadu Buhari is in the Asian country - the All Progressives Congress (APC) described the move as an act of sabotage.
