Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti says he has the capacity and competence to place Nigeria on the trajectory of glory.
The government made this known on Tuesday when he visited Rotimi Akeredolu, his Ondo state counterpart, on Tuesday to consult him on his presidential bid.
Fayemi, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is yet to formally declare his interest.
During the meeting, Fayemi said his presidential bid was spurred by the desire to make drastic and long-lasting positive impact on the people.
He said he was in the state to consult with the governor ahead of the APC presidential primary election.
“Governor Fayemi said he was in the state for consultation ahead of the APC presidential primary election, stressing that the move is about making fundamental changes in the lives of the people,” the Ekiti governor was quoted in a statement by Richard Olatunde, chief press secretary to Akeredolu.
“Dr. Fayemi said he has the courage, knowledge, capacity, competence, experience and the Omoluabi virtues to drive the country in the right direction and bring the desired development in the country.
“The NGF chair equally solicited the prayers and support of all for his ambition, saying the project is a collective one.
“While saying that national cohesion is being challenged in the country, Governor Fayemi promised to engender national unity that everybody is yearning for.”
