BEVERLY HILLS, November 21, (THEWILL) – The Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has denied saying that a national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is responsible for his (Tinubu’s) misfortunes in the party, stating that he cannot demean the former Lagos governor.
Denying ever granting an interview where he made disparaging comments about the person of Tinubu, the former Ekiti state governor dismissed the report as false, adding that it is highly mischievous and malicious.
A statement signed by the minister’s media aide, Olayinka Oyebode, reads that “Dr Fayemi subscribes to the highest moral and ethical standard of the Yoruba and as such would not speak evil or seek to demean Asiwaju Tinubu or any of our respected leaders under no circumstance whatsoever.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Dr Fayemi has always held and will continue to hold Asiwaju Tinubu in high esteem.
“The bond that exists between them dates back to decades of cordial relationship and no peddler of falsehood or group of blackmailers hiding under the guise of politics can put asunder.”
