​​The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Kayode Fayemi, on Sunday revealed that he would resign his appointment as Minister of Mines and Steel Development in two weeks time.

Fayemi was on Saturday declared winner of the APC primary election having polled a total 941 votes.

Speaking on Channels Tv about his victory, Fayemi revealed that contrary to reports, he did not give any delegate money and was not an accidental candidate.

He said “I am going to resign my appointment as minister in the next two weeks.

“I am not an accidental candidate. The delegates know me. I didn’t have to give money to delegates, I was able to convince them on what I have consistently done.”

Speaking on Governor of Ekiti, Ayodele Fayose’s warning to him, Fayemi said “Ayo Fayose is a common enemy of my party and the common enemy of the state.

“Ayo Fayose’s name is not on the ballot, I don’t want to dwell on that.”

Kikiotolu recalls that President Muhammadu Buhari had sometime in April approved a leave of absence requested by Fayemi.

The leave was to allow the former governor of Ekiti State seek the nomination of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stand as a candidate in the July 14 governorship poll.

Some embittered wailers were ignorantly complaining about Fayemi allowed to contest the APC ticket without resigning as a minister. Fyi and enlightenment, he is not required to resign before contesting for the ticket but he must do so before being allowed to slug it out with PDP as the candidate of APC.

Fayemi is welcome to the race but he should expect to match a determined PDP at the poll that will beat him to stupor

Lol.
You will lose out on both. You won't become the governor, think twice before you resign.

Should I tell fayemi GOOD MORNING now or I should wait till when the beat him well well??

These are the ministers it took buhari six months to appoint .After being unable to deliver to the Nigeria public they still want to waste the public funds stolen from various ministries on a failed political journey. Mr integrity indeed

Fayemi wants to resign. Maybe necayse he won the primaries? Or maybe not.

If the reason remains because he won the just concluded primaries, then he seems to have forgotten that the coming election in July is a CLASH OF THE TITANS; WHO TAKES EKITI, HOME?

He who's close to Fayemi should advise him keenly

Nigeria politics tire me......

It usedto be aautomatic under PDP but now the minister of mines is also the gubernatorial candidate of APC.

You will be defeated again in July.

Quite late... Should have resigned before going for the primaries. I'm sure his seat at the FEC would be reserved in case he loses in the polls

Yeah right.

what are Fayemi's achievements as a minister?

Nonsense and ingredient. You better think twice. If I
may ask, what did you forget in that govt house.

Resign on what ground

It's only in Nigeria that a so-called politician can just wake up to do and undo...

we made you our leader... you are serving us... you can't just tell us you are resigning and you want us to cheer you up...

nahhhh... its not done that way...
BTW... this is Nigeria... anything can happen...

After all a president that can just do technical stop over ... who's a minister that can not resign if he likes.?
