THE immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has described as “fabricated and misleading” comments he was said to have made during a recent presentation at the Lagos Business School (LBS) breakfast meeting.
A statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Olayinka Oyebode, partly reads:
“Kindly note that the report is a complete distortion of Dr Fayemi’s presentation at the Lagos Business School (LBS) breakfast meeting on April 8th, 2015.While it is true that Dr Fayemi was Guest Speaker at the Lagos Business School (LBS) Breakfast meeting, he was not there as a representative of the President-elect, General Muhammad Buhari and neither was he introduced as such.
Aside this, the various “policies” of the incoming administration purported to have been disclosed by Dr Fayemi by the misleading reports, were mere fabrications as the thrust of discussion at the event was essentially on the campaign manifesto of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and how it was successfully marketed to the electorate during the electioneering period culminating in the party’s victory at the polls.
The discussion did not focus on the policies of the incoming administration as reported on some social media platforms.
Thus purported policy trust of the incoming administration on fuel pricing, timing for the composition of the cabinet, Central Bank of Nigeria, Federal Inland Revenue Service, anti-corruption bodies, and 2015 budget among others, were not part of Dr Fayemi’s discussion .
