APC presidential ticket: Reports Of Stepping Down For Osibanjo Is ‘Absolute Rubbish’- Fayemi
An All Progressives Congress (APC) frontline presidential aspirant, Kayode Fayemi, has reacted to the rumors that he was pressured to sacrifice his presidential ambition in support of Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.
The Governor of Ekiti in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, signed by Head of Media and spokeman of his Campaign Organization, Femi Ige described the rumor as “absolute rubbish, stressing that; “no meeting took place between us and any aspirant about stepping down,”
Media report had claimed that governor Fayemi and other four governors held a meeting behind a closed door with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, suggesting that Fayemi was been pressured to abandon his presidential ambition.
The statement partly read “We are undoubtedly among the leading aspirants for the position and one to watch in the race. Our candidate has deep trust and respect among political leaders in the party and also from colleague Governors who form a critical mass in the decision making process,” the statement read.
He appealed to Fayemi’s supporters to; “remain calm, focus and not lose faith because of the lies fabricated by political detractors. No amount of late night demarketing will work against the Kayode Fayemi Presidential project.”
