Fayemi Denies Report of ‘Closed-Door Meeting’ with Kwankwaso



The immediate past Governor of Ekiti State and former Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), Dr Kayode Fayemi, has dismissed as false a report claiming that he is holding a closed-door meeting with former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, at his Abuja residence.


The claim was circulated on X (formerly Twitter) by a number of social media handles such as “June 12 Movement” and “ADC Vanguard” alongside a resurrected old video clip showing Fayemi greeting Senator Kwankwaso at his residence.


In a statement issued by the Fayemi Media Office on Wednesday, Fayemi described the report as a blatant lie that must have surprised Senator Kwankwanso equally and urged the public to disregard it. 


According to the statement, ‘’Dr Fayemi has only met Senator Kwankwaso once in the last one 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.’’


Dr Fayemi acknowledged that he and Senator Kwankwaso have been friends since their time as governors, but stressed that their relationship is personal and non-partisan. 


He noted that their friendship is based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to the progress of Nigeria, rather than on any political alignment.


The former governor also cautioned against attempts by political actors to read partisan meaning into private relationships, stating that many of his friends and associates are not involved in partisan politics and have no desire to be drawn into it and those involved are not necessarily all of the same political persuasion. His friends span the entire spectrum of Nigeria’s political terrain. 


The Fayemi Media Office reaffirms Dr Fayemi’s commitment to national unity, principled engagement, and responsible public discourse.
