#Facts are sacred

Our APC friends are saying that Fayemi received President Jonathan in 2014 when he came to campaign for Gov Fayose in Ado Ekiti.

They are using the above picture to authenticate their LIE.

#Lie Busted!
The picture was taken during the Jonathan/Sambo presidential campaign of 2011.

In fact, this is the Christ's School football field where the president's chopper landed in 2011.

Receiving Jonathan in this picture was then FCT Minister of State, Caleb Olubolade.

Please note that during the Guber campaign visit to Ekiti in 2014, President Jonathan came by road via Ikere.

ii. Olubolade in the above picture had resigned as minister and had lost the Guber primary

iii. Fayemi did not welcome the president in 2014 as he was busy campaigning at Okemesi on that fateful day.

iv. Fayemi reacted to President Jonathan campaign visit by organising his APC people to sweep the streets of Ado Ekiti the following day and attack PDP supporters, leading to the murder of Kehinde Akinola at Ijigbo Roundabout, Ado Ekiti.
