Governor of Ekiti state, South West Nigeria, and Presidential Aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Kayode Fayemi has denied stepping down for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Gatekeepers News reports that this was disclosed in a statement by spokesman of the campaign organisation, Femi Ige.
The campaign Organisation described the insinuation as “absolute rubbish”.
Ige said the chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) is “favourably positioned” and has the backing of “real stakeholders” in the APC.
The organization added that no amount of late night demarketing will work against the Fayemi presidential project.
“[It is] absolute rubbish. No meeting took place between us and any aspirant about stepping down,” the statement reads.
“We are undoubtedly among the leading aspirants for the position and one to watch in the race.
“Our candidate has deep trust and respect among political leaders in the party and also from fellow governors who form a critical mass in the decision making process.”
