​Kayode Fayemi, minister of mines and steel, walked out of the meeting which Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and some party leaders held with the governorship aspirants of the APC in Ekiti state, on Tuesday.

The meeting took place at the Lagos state government house in Asokoro, Abuja.

Some of the party leaders in attendance were Bisi Akande, pioneer chairman of the party; Segun Osoba, former Ogun state governor; Niyi Adebayo, former Ekiti state governor; and Pius Akinyelure; zonal vice chairman of the APC in the south-west.

After discussing for like two hours, they agreed on a break.

The minister, who walked out of the room ahead of other aspirants and party leaders, ignored reporters who approached him.

He entered his car and his driver sped off.

But Akande who spoke with journalists said the outcome of the meeting would be presented to the national working committee (NWC) of the party.

Asked if there were discussion on a consensus candidate, he said it is an option since the party’s constitution is not against it.

“Primary election is already written in our constitution but all we want is the happiness the generality of the leadership, the contestants and our party in general,” Akande said.

“We took a decision on what will be the best advantage to our party and the country. Consensus is already written in our constitution and it is an option.”

When asked if the aspirants agreed on a consensus candidate, Akande said they were asked to think about it and report back to the leaders.

Asked to comment on the cancellation of Saturday’s primary, Akande said he was not part of the process but said he would be part of avoid the repeat of the incident.

When the meeting reconvened around 7:30pm, other aspirants were there but Fayemi and Ayo Arise, a former senator, were not seen.

After the botched primary, Fayemi accused Babafemi Ojudu, a presidential aide, and Bimbo Adaramola, a former member of the house of representatives, of conspiring to thwart the exercise, which he claimed was in his favour.

Delegates from four local government areas had concluded voting when the exercise was disrupted. Fayemi said he was leading in the votes cast.

The APC leadership has fixed July 11 for a fresh primary.

Stupid thief... you're already dead in Ekiti polity though.....

Show of shame

NOW the EKITIGATE proponents shouting fayose's name Obanikoro, Mimiko and want him prosecuted now are the real riggers, PDP Conduct a primary without noise, APC Rigging machines are not even shamefull to rig theirself Now the world can see who and what APC represents .....selfish individuals without direction..simple! if you cannot lead your household peacefully, It is logical that you cant lead a larger Household ..Ekiti state

This is just the beginning of their failure.

Pdp till take over

APC either present Segun Oni or forget about winning Ekiti.

And zombies were lying themselves to death that all is well with these gladiators.

I wonder what Tinubu a progressive minded man found in Buhari( a regressive minded man)
When we will have a politician that will put Nigeria first in all dealings
Nigeria youth needs to wake up, all this old men will die and leave us, we just need a generation that didn't witness the Civil war to be at the helm of affairs.All this current politicians are creating division between us

Let's see how things will go.

APC is technically defeated.

They have never been in the same camp after he became a minister so why is he getting mad?

APC and confusion are 5n6

A house that is built with spit, will be demolished by dew. The end of All Progressive Criminals(APC) has come

.

APC wants to use fayemi to punish fayose. but fayemi doesn't have the charisma, character and popularity that will place him on the prestigious seat

Fayemi have always been a he-goat

We Yorubas don't easily agree on some issues.
That's why we need Nigeria.
Too bad!

Troubled house.
The meeting took place at Lagos house in Abuja.
Apc running state affairs like it's their personal business.
Why would they have a party meeting in a state house when non of them is actually working with the state.
If I can't go to Abuja and lodge in the state house which is meant for state executives on official trip,Why should This men?

Any candidate in APC has hope other than FAYEMI . He will loose in the election like never before , 16: 0 will be an understatement this time around
