Former Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has dismissed reports suggesting his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Fayemi in a statement on Monday, reaffirmed his loyalty to the ruling party after which, described himself as a “card-carrying foundation member” of the APC.
The APC chieftain further emphasised that his political allegiance remains unchanged as he acknowledged the need for greater internal democracy and inclusivity within the party.
He said, “I have been at the vanguard of the demand for greater internal democracy and inclusion in the ruling party. I believe it is still not late for our party to change course and move towards greater inclusion and internal democracy,” he stated.
Fayemi’s remarks come as there are rumours of many APC chieftains planning to follow former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam El-Rufai to the SDP.
