I Endorse SouthWest APC Leaders’ Meeting Outcome, Says Fayemi

As controversy trailed his absence at the meeting of the All Progressives Party (APC) Southwest leaders which took place in Lagos on Sunday, May 23rd, 2021, Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has declared his supports for the outcome of the meeting, saying he wholeheartedly supports their stance.

Fayemi who said his absence was a result of a mix up in the invitation sent out for the meeting, pointed out for clarity that, the invitation for the meeting which was said to have been sent via Whatsapp by Mr. Tunde Rahman, an aide to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, never got to Governor Fayemi.

The absence of an invitation for the Southwest APC leaders meeting prevented the Governor from attending the meeting, as he was not aware.

Governor Fayemi however sent an apology to the meeting through former Ekiti State Governor and Minister of Industries, Trade and Investments, Otunba Niyi Adebayo; as he was already scheduled to attend another engagement at the time he came to learn of the meeting.

A statement signed by His Chief Press Secretary, ( CPS) Yinka Oyebode and made available to our Correspondent in Ado Ekiti on Monday said, “Governor Fayemi, as a true democrat and Southwest leader who is committed to the welfare of the people.

“Fayemi is however in total support of the decisions reached by the Southwest leaders at the meeting which include an endorsement of the positions earlier adopted by the Southern Governors’ Forum on the ban on open grazing and the need for true federalism, among others”.
