President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated former governor of Ekiti State and Minister of Mines and Solid Minerals, Kayode Fayemi, for winning the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to contest the July 14, 2018 governorship elections.
President Buhari also commended all the participants in the keenly contested position, who passionately worked hard to serve the state as governors, urging them to keep upholding the values and philosophy of the party by supporting the APC candidate in the forthcoming elections.
President Buhari, according to a statement by Garba Shehu, says he believed 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 noted 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.
