The Minister of Mines and Steel
Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has resigned his appointment to focus on his bid
to govern Ekiti State again at the July 14 governorship election in the State.
Fayemi tendered his
resignation letter to President Muhammadu Buhari three weeks ago, but it
officially takes effect from today, Wednesday, May 30.
Fayemi is the All
Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer in the election having won a rescheduled
primary of the party on May 12, will be in office today to address a press
conference where he will give account of his stewardship in the ministry and
finally sign off at 12:00pm.
To become the Ekiti APC
candidate, Fayemi polled 941 votes.
The aspirants who came
closest were Segun Oni (481 votes), Kayode Ojo (281), Olufemi Richard Bamisile
(179), Oluyede Oluwole (121), and Aluko Daniel Olugbenga (86).
Fayose has already boasted that an
“electoral disaster” awaits Fayemi in July, saying: “He will suffer the worst
defeat of his political career… after the July 14 election, he will go into
political oblivion.”
