Kayode Fayemi,
governor of Ekiti state, says his actions are not geared towards taking over
from President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking through
Segun Dipe, his senior special assistant on public communications, Fayemi said
he is not in the league of those working towards the next presidential
election.
He described as
untrue, reports that he is working clandestinely towards building structures to
prosecute his “rumoured presidential ambition in 2023”.
“Fayemi is a sitting
governor and he chairs the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. He enjoys these roles and
he is playing them to the best of his ability,” the statement read.
“His objective is
that of engaging in processes such as negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and
arbitration in order to move a seemingly violent conflict into non-violent
dialogue, where differences are settled through conflict transformation
processes or through the work of representative political institutions.
“He is interested in
what is happening in every part of the country and, like he himself once
stated, anything that affects the peace of any state governed by a member of
the NGF would surely affect the solidarity of the forum.
“People like Fayemi
bring people together. You find them in all kinds of places and in all kinds of
circumstances. They are very lovable people who wish the very best for other
people. Despite that his action as a peacemaker and reconciliator means a lot
to other people, the governor is a modest person and he is focused on other
people’s happiness.
“As a bridge
builder, Fayemi is never pushy; he just wants everyone around him to find peace
and achieve happiness. The governor no doubt knows a lot of people and doesn’t
fail to bring everybody together; he listens carefully and is sincerely
interested in how everyone is doing.
“Like any other
bridge-builder in the world, Fayemi likes to help to connect people, he is
quick at recognising what someone else needs and his mind starts searching for
ways to help the other person move ahead.”
