.Erelu Bisi Fayemi
The wife of Ekiti State Governor, Erelu Bisi Fayemi has distanced herself from posters which appeared online linking her with senatorial ambition for Ekiti North.
She said the posters were seen online on Saturday, a day after Mr Biodun Oyebanji emerged as the governorship candidate for All Progressives Congress, Ekiti State.
Erelu Fayemi said fhose behind this mischief have been floating the narrative that the Senatorial seat “is going to be my reward for supporting Mr Oyebanji’s aspiration.”
She, however stated her position as follows:
“I have no interest whatsoever in contesting for a Senatorial seat. I have never discussed this with anyone and how this story keeps circulating is a mystery. Let me repeat, I am not interested.
“My sole political agenda in Ekiti State is to support my husband, HE Dr Kayode Fayemi, and to ensure that he finishes well. My husband’s success is the only reward I need.
“The Ekiti APC Primaries were held on January 27th, and a winner was declared by the relevant authorities.
“Many people of all ages spent a lot of time promoting their candidates online, a very important part of the political process.
“However, this can be done without resorting to slander, libel, and other untoward acts. While the principals concerned will find ways to resolve their differences, those who bear arms in their name on all sides need to be careful.
“I would therefore like to appeal for a cessation of hostilities and for all hands to be on deck.”
