Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Minister of Mines and Steel Development has denied reports making the rounds that he insulted the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other leaders of the party by walking out on them.

Mr. Yinka Oyebode, Special Adviser on Media to the minister stated that: “There was no basis for him to storm out of the meeting which was called by the leaders to proffer way forward for the party, in the face of the rescheduled Ekiti governorship primary.”

“He could not make the second part of the meeting when it reconvened later in the evening, having earlier taken permission from the leaders to attend another meeting.”

“It is thus worrisome and highly embarrassing reading reports of purported ‘walk out’ on our leaders when nothing like that actually took place. We implore well-meaning members of the society and members of our great party to disregard the misleading reports.”
