FAYEMI OPENS UP ON BEING BARRED FROM
SEEING PRESIDENT BUHARI
The Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode
Fayemi, has denied reports that he failed to see President Muhammadu
Buhari, when he visited the Aso Presidential Villa.
In a statement
signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode, the governor
accused a senior presidential aide of planting the story.
Fayemi
claimed that the aide, who is a former lawmaker, told close associates
that he would battle him with “falsehood and cheap blackmail”.
The
statement insisted that Fayemi had no plan to see Buhari on Tuesday, as
he had met him earlier in the day, along with Governor Abubakar Atiku
Bagudu (Kebbi), Governor Simon Lalong (Plateau) and Governor Badaru
Abubakar (Jigawa).
Also present at that meeting were the Chief of
Staff to the President, Prof Ibrahim Gambari and the Attorney General of
the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
“The Ekiti State Governor was
never denied any opportunity to see President Buhari as he did not ask
to see the President and neither did he go with Chief Giadom,” the
statement added.
