Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu responded to the question, "Do you have any similarities with President Erdoğan?" by saying, "I can say that there are almost no aspects in which we resemble each other in political life. Perhaps we can say that we both played football. He was not a goalkeeper. I was a goalkeeper. Also, he has a lot of my university friends."
The Mayor of Istanbul and the CHP's presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu answered the questions that were curious about the current issues in an interview with Sözcü Newspaper.
DİLEK İMAMOĞLU'S COMMENT GENERATED A LOT OF DISCUSSION
In a recent interview, İmamoğlu's wife, Dilek İmamoğlu, stated regarding the comments about "the second Erdoğan," "I don't think they have any other common traits apart from being from the Black Sea region. Ekrem stands in a very different place in terms of political tradition, style of politics, and leadership style."
"I DON'T HAVE ANY ACQUAINTANCE WITH HIS PERSONAL LIFE ANYWAY"
When asked, "Do you have any similarities with President Erdoğan?" based on the comments made by his wife Dilek İmamoğlu, Ekrem İmamoğlu used striking expressions.
İmamoğlu said, "Dilek ultimately expressed her own opinion, but we don't have much in common. I don't have any acquaintance with his personal life anyway. But I can say that we hardly have any similarities in political life. If there were, I would say so. Maybe we can say that I played football as well. He wasn't a goalkeeper. I was a goalkeeper. Also, I have many university friends," he expressed.
