On Sunday, former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi rejected the claim made by former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi that they were the founders of the opposition coalition.

Amaechi had stated during an X Space discussion on Saturday that he and Fayemi were the ones who initiated talks about forming the opposition coalition before involving other politicians.

He said, “Fayemi and I started the coalition talks, and we later agreed to expand it to include more people beyond just the two of us discussing the creation of a new party.”

However, Fayemi, through his Media Office head Ahmad Sajoh, responded on Sunday by labeling Amaechi’s assertion as false and misleading.

In a statement, Sajoh reaffirmed that Fayemi continues to be a dedicated member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Parts of the statement read: “In an era where fabricated or distorted statements are often attributed to public figures for malicious purposes, we are cautious about engaging with potentially manufactured controversies designed to provoke or profit.

“It is possible that Hon. Amaechi did not make the statement or was misquoted.

“We unequivocally state that these claims lack any basis. Dr. Fayemi remains a committed member and leader of the APC in Ekiti State.

“At various public forums, he has consistently affirmed his dedication to the party, working to address its challenges and advance its progressive ideals for Nigeria. Nothing has changed.”
