Buhari had on Sunday in a
statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu congratulated Fayemi for winning the
APC ticket to contest the July 14, 2018 governorship elections.
Th statement said, “President
Buhari believes that Fayemi’s track record in the state as a reformist, with a
penchant for building educational infrastructure and promoting the welfare of
the ordinary people, will bolster his chances at the forthcoming polls.
“The President notes that the
successful primaries in the state, with more than 30 aspirants, further validate
the credentials of the APC on internal democracy, and its preparedness to take
the country to another level of development.”
Reacting, Fayose who had earlier
mocked Fayemi over his victory took to his Twitter page describing the
president’s commendation as ‘day-dreaming’
Fayose urged the president to
give Fayemi a position in FEC rather than congratulate him as his ambition to
become Ekiti governor was dead on arrival.
He wrote “President Buhari
congratulating Fayemi on his emergence as APC candidate is like day-dreaming.He
will surfer another major defeat on July 14.
“Rather than congratulating him,the President
should reserve his seat at the FEC because this desperation to be Ekiti
governor is dead on arrival.”
