According to Akeredolu, Fayemi was with other governors at the meeting held at Lagos House, Marina, but had to catch a late flight to Port Harcourt where he was a guest speaker at the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Annual General Conference dinner.

The spokesman to the Ondo State Governor, Richard Olatunde, said the statement was released due to various insinuations and reactions in the media.

“He sent his apology to Asiwaju as well as his good wishes. The rest of us who visited Asiwaju’s residence tendered same and extended Fayemi’s good wishes.”
