Kayode Fayemi Denies Kwankwaso Meeting

Former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has denied reports circulating on social media, particularly X, claiming he held a closed-door political meeting with former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, at his Abuja residence. In a statement issued by Ahmad Sajoh, Head of his Media Office, Kayode Fayemi clarified that he has only met Rabiu Kwankwaso once in the past year at a public book launch for Mohammed Bello Adoke. He emphasized that their friendship is personal and non-partisan, based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to Nigeria's progress. Kayode Fayemi cautioned against politicizing private relationships and reaffirmed his commitment to national unity and responsible public discourse. Some articles also briefly mentioned Kayode Fayemi's previous denial of leaving the Nigeria===All Progressives Congress or co-founding the Nigeria===African Democratic Congress with Rotimi Amaechi, who reportedly plans to challenge Bola Tinubu in 2027, but these are secondary to the main event.
