Meanwhile, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State has denied rejecting the decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors on the consensus candidacy.
Recall that the Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), Atiku Bagudu, had on Wednesday said the APC governors will support President Muhammadu Buhari’s choice of chairmanship candidate.
It was learned that the President had endorsed the former governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, as the consensus candidate for the APC chairmanship position.
However, Fayemi while speaking at a high-level policy dialogue organized by the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), on Thursday, was said to have rejected candidates endorsed by the president.
But in a statement by Yinka Oyebode, his media aide, Fayemi refuted reports claiming that he rejected the decision of his colleagues on the consensus candidacy.
The governor added that he was misrepresented, adding that his presentation at the event was about democracy in West Africa and not about his party convention.
