Bisi Fayemi Writes Friends On Alleged Senate Aspiration

Ekiti First Lady, Erelu Bisi Fayemi has described the circulation of her campaign posters for the Ekiti North Senate seat as an act of mischief calculated to impugn the All Progressives Congress, APC governorship primaries that took place on Thursday, January 27, 2022.

The Ekiti First Lady in a letter to her friends as such asked them to disregard the posters saying that she has no aspiration for an elective office, at least for the moment. She said that her only ambition is to ensure that her husband finishes well.

In the letter to her friends, Erelu Bisi Fayemi said:

Dear friends,

This morning, I woke up to see posters online for Erelu Bisi Fayemi, Senate Ekiti North. This information has been circulating for some time now so it is nothing new. Today’s poster was however released the morning after Mr Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) emerged as Gubernatorial Candidate for the next Governorship election in Ekiti State. Those behind this mischief have been floating the narrative that the Senatorial seat is going to be my reward for supporting Mr Oyebanji’s aspiration. My position is as follows:

1. I have no interest whatsoever in contesting for a Senatorial seat. I have never discussed this with anyone and how this story keeps circulating is a mystery. Let me repeat, I am not interested.

2. My sole political agenda in Ekiti State is to support my husband, HE Dr Kayode Fayemi, and to ensure that he finishes well. My husband’s success is the only reward I need.

3. The Ekiti  APC Primaries were held on January 27th, and a winner was declared by the relevant authorities. Many people of all ages spent a lot of time promoting their candidates online, a very important part of the political process. However, this can be done without resorting to slander, libel, and other untoward acts. While the principals concerned will find ways to resolve their differences, those who bear arms in their name on all sides need to be careful. I would therefore like to appeal for a cessation of hostilities and for all hands to be on deck.

 I congratulate BAO on his emergence, and I look forward to a successful campaign and victory in June. Once again, please ignore the fake news.

Erelu Bisi Fayemi

First Lady, Ekiti State
