Fight between politicians not real, just entertainment for Nigerians – Fayemi
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has said that the fight between politicians is never real but intended to entertain Nigerians.
Downplaying the supposed animosity between politicians, Fayemi stated that such only exists on social media platforms.
The former governor said this during his 60th birthday thanksgiving service at St. Martins’ Catholic Church, Isan Ekiti, on Sunday.
“So, all these things you read on social media are for your entertainment,” he said.
“Many will wonder why Governor Segun Oni is here. During his birthday, I spent the entire day with him, and Governor Ayodele Fayose too would have been here without hesitation if he was around.”
Fayemi also revealed that despite political differences that exist, politicians in Ekiti don’t see themselves as enemies.
He said, “The vision we have always had is a state that will not be separated by political divide. We might belong to different political parties, but there is one party that we collectively belong to—that is the Ekiti Party, Ekiti Progressive Party—and our governor is carrying on with that.”
Expressing gratitude on the journey so far to clocking 60 years, Fayemi said, “I am a product of grace, and I have so many reasons to be thankful to God at 60.
“I also want to thank our governor for making me proud. it could have been otherwise. Things could have gone awry, but he is also a product of grace and that is why in spite of the travails that one might experience in the world of politics, we have a very cordial relationship based on mutual love and mutual respect.” Read Full Details
