Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi has denied reports that he has stepped down for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in the race for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential ticket.
An online platform had reported on Thursday that Fayemi was pressured to abandon his presidential ambition during a meeting between Osinbajo and some APC governors.
However, in a statement on Friday in Abuja, Femi Ige, Head of Media and spokesman of Dr Kayode Fayemi Presidential Campaign Organisation, said no such thing took place, adding that Fayemi is very much in the race.
“We are undoubtedly among the leading aspirants for the position and one to watch in the race. Our candidate has deep trust and respect among political leaders in the party and also from fellow Governors, who form a critical mass in the decision making process,” the statement said.
