After stepping down, Fayemi makes proclamation about Tinubu

Ekiti Gov Kayode Fayemi has come to accept APC national leader Bola Tinubu as his mentor, though he used to describe him as someone he worked with in the struggle for democracy.

And on occasion Fayemi had to tell people he was no part of the “ Lagos ‘crowd’.

Tweeting on Sunday when he visited Tinubu, the governor said,“It was a real delight to spend the weekend with my leader and mentor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT who recently emerged as the Presidential Candidate of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 general election.

“I also had the opportunity to introduce Mr @biodunaoyebanji, APC candidate in the Ekiti gubernatorial election, scheduled for June 18, 2022.

“Together, we will work towards victory and consolidation of democratic governance in our dear state and country. So help us God.”

He also said, “Tinubu is one person that I have worked with in the democratic struggles and was one of the wheels on which the engine of NADECO spun in the dark days of authoritarian rule.

“He is tested and has more experience to steer the ship of our country from May 2023.”

Fayemi and nine others stepped down for the forer governor of Lagos who polled 1271 to defeat 13 others, including V.P. Yemi Osibajo, trailing far behind him.
