Fayemi Denies Defection, Reaffirms Commitment To APC.
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has dismissed rumours of his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC), reaffirming that he remains a committed member of the ruling party.
Speculation about Fayemi’s departure gained traction following reports that former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, had left the APC for the Social Democratic Party (SDP). However, in a brief statement, Fayemi debunked the claims, clarifying that he has not left the party.
“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,” he said.
Fayemi also reiterated his advocacy for greater internal democracy and inclusivity within the party. “While I have been at the vanguard of the demand for greater internal democracy and inclusion in the ruling party, I believe it is still not too late for our party to change course and move towards greater inclusion and internal democracy,” he stated.
His remarks come amid ongoing discussions about party unity and internal reforms, as concerns over leadership and governance continue to shape political discourse within the APC.
