The Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi is unaware of the campaign poster reportedly circulating round the social media, canvassing support for him in the 2023 presidential election.
The publication which was said to be deceptive was alleged to have been published by the Chairman of Ikere Local Government Council, Mr. Femi Ayodele with the logo of All Progressive Congress, APC.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Yinka Oyebode on Wednesday, August 19, 2020.
He stated that; “Dr Fayemi does not have any knowledge of the campaign poster neither did he authorise Mr Ayodele or any person or group of persons to start a campaign on his behalf.
“As a matter of fact, Mr Ayodele does not and cannot speak for the Governor on any matter, be it policy, administrative or political”.
He added that the Governor is presently focused on delivering dividend of democracy to the people and actualising his campaign promises.
“Governor Fayemi has reiterated over and over that he has a four-year mandate as Governor of Ekiti State and he is focused on actualising his promises to the people of the State through pragmatic leadership and systemic implementation of his administration’s five pillars of development.
“This also serves as a note of caution to political appointees, Government functionaries, political associates and groups to operate within the ambit of decency and steer clear of actions that are capable of distracting the Government, the party and the Governor.
