I Want To Finish Well As Ekiti State Governor – Fayemi

Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi has come out to say that only God knows what his political future holds in the 2023 general elections.

He recently revealed this when he spoke with the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he is currently focusing on finishing well as governor of Ekiti State and he wants to aid more growth and development in the period that is left for him in office.

Fayemi added that only God knows what the future holds and he’ll cross the bridge when he gets there.

His words, “I have a job to do; I want to finish well as governor of Ekiti State, I want to do more to put Ekiti on the pedestal of growth and development in the period that is left for me in office.”

“What the future holds, God knows, but we will cross that bridge when we get there. For now, my primary responsibility is Ekiti State.”

“Contentions are always going to happen. APC is a big party with different tendencies and there will be contentions for and against. We are very confident that this party will produce the next government in this country in 2023 but before we get there, we are more focused on the country now. The party is more interested in the stability and security of Nigeria. What is happening internally is something we will resolve internally.”
