Why I Visited Tinubu In London – Fayemi

September 27, (THEWILL) – Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti state has broken his silence over his August visit to a former Governor of Lagos state and chieftain of theAll Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, in London.

The governor, who spoke on Arise TV, said the visit was to show support for a “friend and elder” and not connected to the 2023 presidency.

“He (Akeredolu) and I were in London together to see our leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but it had absolutely nothing to do with 2023 presidential plans whatsoever. That’s not the reason why we went there.

“Asiwaju has just had surgery. It is simply proper etiquette or behaviour both in the part of the country where I come from but also generally that when a friend and elder is undergoing health challenges, it would be improper on your part not to show solidarity and support.

“That is simply what took us there; we wanted to associate ourselves with him at a time of need and as an elder, as a mentor and as a big figure in our political party, nothing wrong in paying him a courtesy visit to check on him to see how he was faring and we did that and we returned. It has nothing to do with 2023; let me make that absolutely clear”, Fayemi told Arise TV.

Over 30 politicians have visited Tinubu in London in the last two months, including the president and the governors of Lagos, Kano, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti, and Ondo states.
