The media office of Dr Kayode Fayemi, former Governor of Ekiti, has dismissed as false a viral claim attributed to Rotimi Amaechi that both men founded the new ADC coalition.
Amaechi is a former governor of Rivers and former Minister of Transportation under the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
This is contained in a statement by the Head of the Fayemi Media Office, Malam Ahmad Sajoh, on Sunday in Abuja.
Sajoh said there was no credible evidence, including videos or reputable media reports, to suggest Amaechi made the claim.
He described the report as “possibly fabricated or misquoted,” warning the public against social media-driven misinformation.
Accordjng to him, Fayemi remains a committed leader of the APC in Ekiti State and has publicly endorsed Gov. Biodun Oyebanji for re-election under the party’s ticket.
He added that while Fayemi had continued to engage in cross-party conversations on national development, it did not amount to defection from the APC.
He attributed speculation about Fayemi’s political loyalty to his limited national visibility due to his academic engagement at King’s College London and work at the Amandla Institute.
