Fayemi reacts to claims of closed-door meeting with Kwankwaso

Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the former governor of Ekiti state, has reacted to the reports of him holding a closed-door meeting with former Kano state governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

The reports, accompanied with an old video of Fayemi and the Senator, claimed that the former Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, hosted Kwankwaso at his residence in Abuja.

Fayemi, however, in a recent statement dismissed the claims, stating that they only met once in the past year.

“Dr Fayemi has only met Senator Kwankwaso once in the last year, and that occasion was at the public book launch of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN. At no time has Dr Fayemi held, or is he holding, any closed-door political meeting with Senator Kwankwaso as suggested by the post,” the statement reads.
