Former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has firmly denied rumors suggesting his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a statement shared on his X page on Monday, Fayemi reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the ruling party, emphasizing his status as a founding member.<\/p>\n
“My attention has been drawn to a story circulating on several online platforms regarding my defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC),” Fayemi stated. “As I have had cause to state in the past, I am a card-carrying foundation member of the APC, and this position has not changed.”<\/p>\n
Fayemi’s statement comes in the wake of growing speculations on social media, fueled by the recent defection of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, to the Social Democratic Party (SDP). Despite these rumors, Fayemi made it clear that he remains a dedicated member of the APC, advocating for internal democracy and greater inclusion within the party.<\/p>\n
He further explained, “While I have been at the vanguard of demand for greater internal democracy and inclusion in the ruling party, I believe it is still not late for our party to change course and move towards greater inclusion and internal democracy.”<\/p>\n
Fayemi\u2019s statement serves as a strong rebuttal to the speculation surrounding his political future, affirming his continued loyalty to the APC and his ongoing efforts to push for reforms within the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
