False, I did not start opposition coalition with you – Fayemi counters Amaechi

A former governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi on Sunday dismissed claims by ex-Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi that they started the opposition coalition together.

Amaechi had said he and Fayemi initiated discussions about the opposition coalition before it expanded to other politicians.

The former governor of Rivers State made the claim during an X Space on Saturday.

“Fayemi and I began the coalition discussion, and we subsequently agreed to broaden it so that it would involve more than just the two of us talking about starting a new party,” Amaechi said.

However, responding on Sunday, Fayemi, through the head of his Media Office, Ahmad Sajoh, described Amaechi’s claim as false and misleading.

Sajoh, in a statement, insisted that Fayemi remains a committed member of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Parts of the statement read: “In an era where fabricated or distorted statements are often attributed to public figures for malicious purposes, we are cautious about engaging with potentially manufactured controversies designed to provoke or profit.

“It is possible that Hon. Amaechi did not make the statement or was misquoted.

“We unequivocally state that these claims lack any basis. Dr. Fayemi remains a committed member and leader of the APC in Ekiti State.

“At various public forums, he has consistently affirmed his dedication to the party, working to address its challenges and advance its progressive ideals for Nigeria. Nothing has changed.”
