Dr. Kayode Fayemi’s victory in the Ekiti State governorship election is a referendum on President Muhammadu Buhari’s leadership of the country and defeat for the divisive politics played by Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo and Governor Ayodele Fayose, the Presidency said, on Sunday.
In a commentary on Fayose by Mallam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity titled, “In The End, A High-Power Nothing”, the Presidency said the defeat was the beginning of the political extinction of the out-going Governor Ayodele Fayose and consolidation of Buhari whose personal integrity, it claimed, cannot be matched by any politician in the country.
The Presidency’s reaction came in the wake of celebration by All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwarts across Ekiti and parts of Nigeria on the victory of their candidate in the Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
Of note however is the unexpected celebration also of the APC Kayode Fayemi’s victory by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who ironically has been on the league of coalition to remove the governing Party from power come 2019.
