I Dont Have any 2023 Presidential Ambition, Says Fayemi
Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has said his efforts to build bridges across party lines and geopolitical zones have nothing to do with any presidential ambition in 2023.
Fayemi, in a statement in Ado Ekiti by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications, Mr. Segun Dipe, cautioned against alleged misrepresentation of his efforts.
He added that he was not working clandestinely towards building structures to prosecute his rumoured presidential ambition in 2023.
The statement described such insinuation as a fallacy and a misrepresentation of Fayemi’s personality and conduct.

It said the proponents of such rumour must have been studying Fayemi from afar and must have misread his relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari, thus taking his reconciliatory efforts for an ambition-driven one.
The statement explained that although Fayemi is eminently qualified and a sellable personality from the South-west, he would rather prefer his intention to be understood as playing a crucial role of bridge-building among state governors, whose forum he chairs at present, and not of any subterranean moves towards 2023.
“Fayemi is a sitting governor and he chairs the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. He enjoys these roles and he is playing them to the best of his ability. His objective is that of engaging in processes such as negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration in order to move a seemingly violent conflict into non-violent dialogue, where differences are settled through conflict transformation processes or through the work of representative political institutions,” it stated.
