Bisi Fayemi, wife of the Ekiti governor, says she has no
link to posters circulating online indicating her interest in contesting for a
senatorial seat.
On Friday, posters had surfaced online indicating that she
was aspiring to represent Ekiti north senatorial district.
But in a statement, Bisi Fayemi distanced herself from the
posters, saying she has no interest in running for the position.
“This morning, I woke up to see posters online for Erelu
Bisi Fayemi, Senate, Ekiti North. This information has been circulating for
some time now so it is nothing new,” the statement reads.
“Today’s poster was
however released the morning after Mr Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji emerged as
Gubernatorial Candidate for the next Governorship election in Ekiti State.
“Those behind this mischief have been floating the narrative
that the senatorial seat is going to be my reward for supporting Mr Oyebanji’s
aspiration.
“My position is as follows: I have no interest whatsoever in
contesting for a senatorial seat. I have never discussed this with anyone and
how this story keeps circulating is a mystery. Let me repeat, I am not
interested.
“My sole political
agenda in Ekiti State is to support my husband, HE Dr Kayode Fayemi, and to
ensure that he finishes well. My husband’s success is the only reward I need.
“The Ekiti APC Primaries were held on January 27th, and a
winner was declared by the relevant authorities. Many people of all ages spent
a lot of time promoting their candidates online, a very important part of the political
process.
“However, this can be done without resorting to slander,
libel, and other untoward acts. While the principals concerned will find ways
to resolve their differences, those who bear arms in their name on all sides
need to be careful.
“I would therefore like to appeal for a cessation of
hostilities and for all hands to be on deck.”
She further congratulated Oyebanji on his victory at the
polls and encouraged the public to “please ignore the fake news”.
