Fayemi Denies Leading Opposition Against Tinubu for 2027

Kayode Fayemi, the former Governor of Ekiti State, has refuted claims made by Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, that he is coordinating a seven-man opposition group aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 election. Galadima suggested that opposition parties should field separate candidates rather than presenting a single candidate, stating that this strategy would enhance their chances against Tinubu.

He claimed to be part of a group meeting under Fayemi's coordination to work towards this goal. However, Fayemi's media team, including aide Julius Ogunro and head of the Fayemi Media Office Ahmad Sajoh, dismissed these allegations, asserting that Fayemi is a committed member and leader of the All Progressives Congress.

Sajoh emphasized that Fayemi has consistently affirmed his dedication to the APC and its political ideals.
