I Support Whatever APC Leaders Decided During Their Meeting – Kayode Fayemi

The Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi has come out to explain his absence from a meeting involving leaders of the All Progressives Congress in the South-West region.

He recently revealed this via a statement through his Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he completely supports the stance of APC leaders despite his absence from the meeting which happened as a result of the mix up in the invitation sent out for the meeting.

Fayemi added that he remains a true democrat and Southwest leader who is committed to the welfare of the people.

His words, “Dr. Fayemi’s absence at the meeting was a result of a mix up in the invitation sent out for the meeting.”

“For clarity, 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.”

“Governor Fayemi, as a true democrat and Southwest leader who is committed to the welfare of the people, 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.”
