Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has dismissed the
reports that he shunned President Muhammadu Buhari's meeting with governors of
the 36 states in the country.
Buhari on Friday, August 25, met with the governor at the
State House, Abuja.
The Chairman of the PDP's Caretaker Committee, Ahmed
Makarfi and other leaders of the opposition party were also present at the
meeting.
Fayose said he was unable to attend the meeting because
it clashed with his Chieftaincy installation.
"For those insinuating that I shunned the
President’s meeting with governors, I didn’t. I had my installation as Apesin
of Ado Ekiti slated for today," the Governor wrote on Twitter on Friday.
He added that "guests were already in Ekiti since
yesterday for the chieftaincy title installation before I received notice of
the meeting with the President."
Fayose is one of the major critics of the Buhari
administration. He had insisted that the President went into coma while in
London, a statement the Presidency since denied.
