Fayemi congratulated President Buhari in a statement issued by his media aide, Malam Ahmad Sajoh, on Saturday.
The Eagle Online was told that 10 members of Ekiti State House of Assembly impeached him on Monday morning.
This is coming amid allegations that the new Speaker, Gboyega Aribisogan, elected on Friday, will be removed.
The Eagle Online recalls that Aribisogan was elected last week following the death of Speaker Funminiyi Afuye.
The team of publicists visited Fayemi in his Ado Ekiti private residence at the weekend, where they urged the ex-Ekiti helmsman not to relent in giving more of himself to Nigeria and humanity as a whole, despite his serving out his two terms as a governor as statutorily required
The Eagle Online recalls that Fayose defeated Fayemi in his bid for reelection in 2014, winning across the whole state.
He also congratulated the new Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Chief Monisade Afuye, and urged the people of Ekiti State to support the new governor and his deputy for continuous growth and development of the state.
The thank-you tour which will take the Governor to all the three senatorial districts of the state is part of activities marking the fourth anniversary/end of his tenure and to usher in activities leading to the inauguration of the Governor-elect, Biodun Oyebanji.
The party’s Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and Wike have been at loggerheads for months now following the outcome of the party’s Presidential Primaries.
Fayemi recounted: “I have spent the last three years on the subject of this road.
Agbede took over from ‘Peju Babafemi, who retired last week after 35 years of meritorious service to the state.
Oyebanji, candidate of APC, won the election polling 187,057 votes to defeat his closest rival and candidate of Social Democratic Party, Segun Oni, who garnered 82,211 votes.
A large crowd of enthusiastic party supporters, artisans and commercial motorbike riders received Dr Fayemi at Igbara-Odo, a border town between Ekiti and Ondo states with songs and drumming and followed him to the Fajuyi Pavillion, Ado-Ekiti, where another large crowd had converged to receive the Governor with “Fayemi for Nigeria” slogans.
Fayemi, who is contesting the 2023 presidential election on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) platform, made the promise Tuesday in Abuja while addressing some APC leaders and its expanded delegates in the FCT.
He said while addressing Niger state APC delegates at the Government House, Minna, that he can remake Nigeria without unmaking the country, adding that “Nigeria would be restored to its place as the giant of Africa”.
Fayemi reacted to the proclamation in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Olayinka Oyebode, on Tuesday.
The gesture, according to a release personally signed by Fayemi in Ado-Ekiti Monday, is in commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the death of the late Awolowo.
The Governor also named the Deputy Chief of Staff, Tolu Ibitola, as the new Chief of Staff to the Governor.
The Wednesday’s declaration, tagged “Unveiling My Nigeria Agenda”, is the climax of the Governor’s extensive consultations across the geo-political zones in the last six weeks. It will also lay to rest speculations on whether he would run for the Presidency or not.
