The government of Ekiti has issued a warning about a rumored scheme by \u201csome political interests\u201d to smear Kayode Fayemi, the state\u2019s governor.<\/p>\n
The governor\u2019s principal press secretary, Yinka Oyebode, claimed in a statement that some members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) are concerned about Fayemi\u2019s \u201cgrowing prominence\u201d and are searching for ways to de-market him as the 2023 presidential race approaches.<\/p>\n
He went on to say that the objective is to discredit Fayemi and make him unpopular with the general public.<\/p>\n

This plot is part of their game plan for the 2023 presidential contest.<\/p>\n \u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, Dr Fayemi has not told anyone that he is in the race for the Presidency of Nigeria. He has always maintained that he is on duty in Ekiti and would like to concentrate on that assignment. What he does afterwards is in the hands of God and he will cross that bridge at the appropriate time. He restated this position during his most recent interview with Arise TV on January 1, 2022.,\u201d the statement read partly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Governor Fayemi The government of Ekiti has issued a warning about a rumored scheme by \u201csome political interests\u201d to smear Kayode Fayemi, the state\u2019s governor.
