Governor of Ekiti state, Kayode Fayemi has debunked his alleged Presidential ambition when he visited Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in his residence in Bourdillon, Ikoyi Lagos.
He also insisted during the meeting with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu that he has no anointed candidate in the forthcoming election in Ekiti as against the speculation that he has anointed his former Secretary to the State Government Biodun Oyebanji as his successor.
A credible source close to Tinubu’s residence told CAPITAL POST late Thursday that Fayemi visited Tinubu to pledge his loyalty to the former governor of Lagos State, 48 hours after Tinubu declares his Presidential ambition at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Fayemi also insisted that he has no anointed candidate in the Ekiti forthcoming primary election that his goal is to handover an APC governor by October, 2022.
The source said, “it is true that Fayemi visited Oga on Wednesday and the purpose of the meeting is just to clear the rumor of his presidential ambition before Asiwaju Tinubu and assure the former governor of Lagos State of his 100 percent loyalty to his struggle.
“He said his rumored presidential ambition was deliberately designed to cause rift between him and Asiwaju.
“He told Oga that he will never work against the interest of Asiwaju in the Presidential election and on the issue of Ekiti election he clearly told Asiwaju that he has no anointed candidate in the forth coming primary election on January 27, that his only interest is to handover to APC governor in the state in October, 2022.”
