Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has dismissed reports suggesting his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC), affirming his continued membership in the party.
His remarks come amid ongoing debates about defection, party reforms and unity ahead of the next election cycle.
In a statement addressing the speculation, Fayemi clarified that he remains a committed foundation member of the APC, contrary to claims circulating on various online platforms.
“As I have had cause to state in the past, I am a card-carrying foundation member of the APC, and this position has not changed,” he stated.
The former governor also reiterated his advocacy for greater internal democracy and inclusion within the ruling party, emphasizing that the APC still has an opportunity to embrace these principles for its growth and stability.
“While I have been at the vanguard of the demand for greater internal democracy and inclusion in the ruling party, I believe it is still not late for our party to change course and move towards greater inclusion and internal democracy,” Fayemi added.
