Fayemi Denies Leaving APC

Former Governor of Ekiti, Kayode Fayemi, has denied leaving the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Fayemi, who served as governor between 2018 and 2022 and a minister of solid minerals development under ex-president Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet between 2015 and 2018, posted the development via his Facebook page.

This comes shortly after Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the then-governor of Kaduna State, announced his departure from APC and joined the Social Democratic Party.

Fayemi said, “My attention has been drawn to a story circulating on several online platforms regarding my defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“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.

“While I have been at the vanguard of 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 said.
