Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti,
says he has no rift with President Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu, national
leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Fayemi also said he has a good
relationship with Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the APC, adding he has
no reason to work against the trio.
Buhari Support Group, a political
pressure group, had alleged that he is working against the president.
Speaking through Olayinka
Oyebode, his chief press secretary, Fayemi described the claim as “baseless and
unfounded”.
Fayemi wondered how the group
came about the alleged feud with the three senior party figures.
He said: “Governor Fayemi holds
President Buhari, Asiwaju Tinubu and Comrade Oshimohole in high esteem and he
still maintains a good relationship with them which is not hidden.
“We don’t know where the Buhari
Support Group got their story from; Governor Fayemi has the best of respect for
these eminent party leaders and he has no reason to be working against them.
“Let us ask ourselves, on what
basis will Dr. Fayemi will be working against the President? This was the man
who appointed him Minister and supported him to regain the governorship seat.
“Why will he fight Comrade
Oshiomhole? It was under his chairmanship that APC won back Ekiti and everybody
knew the role played by the national chairman.
“Asiwaju Tinubu is a mentor to
the governor; both of them had come a long way in a relationship that has
lasted over two decades.
“In fact, Asiwaju attended the
governor’s inauguration last week and the roles he played in the APC victory in
Ekiti election cannot be forgiven in a hurry.
“Governor Fayemi has no reason to
fight or work against our revered President, our respected national chairman
and our revered national leader.
“The allegation is false,
baseless, unfounded and exists only in the imagination of those peddling it.”
