Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi has reacted to claims of
plotting to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Fayemi whose second
term as the governor will end in 2023, stated that the report is totally untrue.
He denied working tirelessly towards building structures to bring to reality
his “rumoured presidential ambition in 2023”.
According to
statement released by his spokesperson, Segun Dipe,
“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.
“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.”
