The wife of the outgoing Governor of Ekiti State, Erelu Bisi Fayemi has dismissed the rumour that he is contesting for Senatorial seat of the south western State.
Fayemi declaration followed the online posters promoting Erelu Bisi Fayemi, for Senate Ekiti North.
The Ekiti First Lady recalled that the speculation has been for a while, but added what is shocking this time is the re-emergence of the posters after Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) emerged as Gubernatorial Candidate for the next Governorship election in Ekiti State.
In a statement personally signed by Erelu Fayemi, she declared: “I have no interest whatsoever in contesting for a Senatorial seat. I have never discussed this with anyone and how this story keeps circulating is a mystery. Let me repeat, I am not interested.
“My sole political agenda in Ekiti State is to support my husband, HE Dr Kayode Fayemi, and to ensure that he finishes well. My husband’s success is the only reward I need.
“The Ekiti APC Primaries were held on January 27th, and a winner was declared by the relevant authorities. Many people of all ages spent a lot of time promoting their candidates online, a very important part of the political process.
“However, this can be done without resorting to slander, libel, and other untoward acts. While the principals concerned will find ways to resolve their differences, those who bear arms in their name on all sides need to be careful. I would therefore like to appeal for a cessation of hostilities and for all hands to be on deck”.
Erelu however congratulated BAO on his victory, and said she looked forward to a successful campaign and victory in June.
She restated: “Once again, please ignore the fake news”.
