Why I’ve Yet To Announce My 2023 Ambition – Fayemi

Why I’ve Yet To Announce My 2023 Ambition – Fayemi

Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Wednesday, cleared the air on speculations bordering on his political ambition after the expiration of his tenure as Ekiti State Governor in 2023.

Addressing speculations that he may declare for Nigeria’s oval office and contest the presidential election in 2023, Fayemi said the season of Ramadan and the lent period were sacred for political games.

The NGF chairman disclosed these during his first working visit to Gombe State, where he was received at the Government House by Governor Muhammadu Yahaya.

He, however, asked his supporters to wait till when the period of Ramadan and lent is over before he opens up on his next political journey.

He said, “For us, in Christendom, this is the period of lent and for people of the Muslim faith, this is Ramadan. Very rarely do the two come together. So this is a period that requires sober reflection.

“The period is of deep thinking and should not be a period of the political declaration. Whether I’m going to run or not is a matter of conjecture. What I will appeal to you to do is to wait until after this spiritual season. I think it will be disrespectful to start playing those politics.”
