Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has dismissed rumors of his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that he remains a committed member of the ruling party.
In a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, Fayemi clarified that reports suggesting his departure from the APC were false.
“My attention has been drawn to a story circulating on several online platforms regarding my defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC). As I have had cause to state in the past, I am a card-carrying foundation member of the APC, and this position has not changed,” he wrote.
He also reiterated his call for greater internal democracy and inclusiveness within the party, urging APC leaders to embrace reforms.
“While I have been at the vanguard of demand for greater internal democracy and inclusion in the ruling party, I believe it is still not late for our party to change course and move towards greater inclusion and internal democracy,” he added.
Fayemi’s statement comes amid speculations about internal realignments within the APC as political activities intensify ahead of future elections.
