ADO-EKITI - FORMER Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, yesterday, refuted the claims making the rounds that he co-founded the African Democratic Party, ADC, with former Rivers State governor, Mr Rotimi Amaechi.
Fayemi, who was reacting to a X Spaces conversation on Saturday, where Amaechi claimed that the ADC coalition started with me and Fayemi in the house of Nasiru Danu with Salihu Mohammed and others."
Amaechi described how the coalition began as a small meeting initiated by Salihu Mohammed, former national vice-chairman north-west of the All Progressives Congress APC, to reconcile Amaechi and Fayemi, which then expanded to include other political figures such as Aminu Tambuwal, a Nigerian senator and former governor of Sokoto.
However, Fayemi, in a statement by his Head of Media, Mallam Sajoh, said the claim has not surfaced on any reputable media organisation, hence, no credible evidence to support it.
