Fayemi Participates in Ekiti APC Caucus Meeting Despite Defection Speculations

Kayode Fayemi, a former governor of Ekiti State, appeared at the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) Caucus meeting on Friday.
The presence of Fayemi has dispelled speculation that the former Solid Minerals Minister would be joining the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
“The meeting was an opportunity to reflect on the party’s progress,” the former governor wrote in a post on his X Twitter.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) State Caucus meeting in Ekiti State was hosted in HE Otunba Niyi Adebayo’s home in Iyin Ekiti, and I was present. The chance to interact with our party leaders and important stakeholders, consider the strides we have achieved, and share ideas on how to improve our effect and unity was excellent,” he said.
Fayemi praised the efforts made in the state by Governor Biodun Oyebanji. He applauded the state’s party members’ solidarity.

With the state’s members’ unity and discipline, he said, he was confident the APC will accomplish more.

“For his outstanding performance and dedication to our state’s development, I commend Governor Biodun Oyebanji. In order to continue his outstanding work for our party and the people of Ekiti, he has earned our complete support.

“Watching the party members’ discipline, cohesiveness, and feeling of purpose was incredibly inspiring. As we work to further develop our shared vision for Ekiti State, I’m still hopeful about what we can do together,” he said.

The former governor of Ekiti State reportedly denied rumors that he intended to leave the ruling party on March 10.

But he also said the party has to improve its internal democracy.

An article on my departure from the All Progressives Congress (APC) has caught my attention and is making the rounds on several internet sites.

As previously stated, I am a card-carrying foundation member of the APC, and my status has not altered.

He said, “Even though I have led the charge to demand more internal democracy and inclusion within the ruling party, I think there is still time for our party to turn around and move in that direction.”
