Former Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, has debunked social media reports alleging that he held a secret political meeting with former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, at his Abuja residence.
Fayemi, who also served as Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, made this known in a statement issued on Thursday by the Head of his Media Office, Ahmad Sajoh.
The report, which surfaced on the social media platform (formerly Twitter), claimed that the two politicians had a closed-door meeting.
It was accompanied by an old video clip showing Fayemi and Kwankwaso exchanging pleasantries, an image the former governor said was being misrepresented.
In the statement, Fayemi firmly denied any recent political meeting with Kwankwaso.
The statement reads, “Dr Fayemi has only met Senator Kwankwaso once in the last year, and that occasion was at the public book launch of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN.
“At no time has Dr Fayemi held, or is he holding, any closed-door political meeting with Senator Kwankwaso as suggested by the post.”
While acknowledging his long-standing friendship with the former Kano governor, Fayemi stressed that their relationship is purely personal and non-partisan.
“Their friendship is based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to the progress of Nigeria, rather than on any political alignment,” the statement added.
He also warned against the growing trend of politicising private relationships among public figures.
“Many of Dr Fayemi’s friends and associates are not involved in partisan politics or belong to different political persuasions. His relationships span the entire spectrum of Nigeria’s political terrain,” the statement said.
Fayemi reaffirmed his commitment to national unity, principled engagement, and responsible public discourse, urging Nigerians not to fall for mischievous interpretations of social interactions.
“Let’s focus on building bridges and addressing the pressing issues facing our country, not chasing shadows,” he was quoted as saying.
