…Says It’s Not Late For Party To Change Its Course
Former governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, has debunked reports circulating in the media that he has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Fayemi’s clarification comes on a day former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, decamped from the APC to the Social Democratic PARTY (SDP).
El-Rufai, who played a key role in the formation of the APC, officially joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP) on Monday, citing the party’s deviation from its founding principles.
Reacting to the development, Fayemi via his official X handle stated that he’s still a bonafide member of the party and has no plans to leave the party.
His post reads, “My attention has been drawn to a story circulating on several online platforms regarding my defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC),” he wrote.
“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 late for our party to change course and move towards greater inclusion and internal democracy.”
