The Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, has revealed why he stepped down

from the 2023 presidential race and threw his weight behind the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Fayemi, in a series of tweets on Sunday evening, said he spent the weekend with Tinubu, who he described as a mentor and leader.

The Ekiti State governor was among the six presidential candidates who stepped down for Tinubu during the APC national convention held in Abuja last week.

On his reason for making such a decision, Fayemi said that “Tinubu is one person that I have worked with in the democratic struggles and was one of the wheels on which the engine of NADECO spun in the dark days of authoritarian rule.
