Why Fayemi, El-rufai Are Attending WEF Despite Fg’s Boycott – Onyeama by AtikuNetwork(op): 9:42pm On Sep 05, 2019
by Augustine Ehikioya, Abuja September 5, 2019

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, on Thursday, said that governors already attending the World Economic Forum (WEF) in South Africa is not an affront to the decision of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

According to him, those governors and other individuals were already in South Africa before a decision was reached for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to boycott the WEF due to xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

Briefing State House correspondents in Abuja, he also pointed out that the WEF is an international function, which was not organized by South Africa.

“The forum started a long time ago and the governors were already there before our decision was taken”, he said.

According to him, Nigeria only stated a position that its top officials would not be in Capetown to register its protest against the xenophobic attacks.

Some of the Nigerian governors who have gone ahead to attend the World Economic Forum included the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, and Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, and Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State.

Other Nigerians participating at the forum include a former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili.

And that one from. Ekiti state was lying. This is an open disgrace to Fayemi, he should have just shut his mouth. Shameless people. Smh
Re: Why Fayemi, El-rufai Are Attending WEF Despite Fg’s Boycott – Onyeama by doctokwus:
But Fayemi denied attending the WEF claiming he went for a birthday or book launch.
This APC are so devilish.Even with pictures,including that he took with a fellow governor,Fayemi openly denied attending the WEF.
It's like a man being shown his own penis to prove he is a male,but he still keeps insisting he is a female while holding the penis in his own hands!
No people,party or individual can beat APC in lies.
Re: Why Fayemi, El-rufai Are Attending WEF Despite Fg’s Boycott – Onyeama by LibertyRep:
See lack of coordination.
A Governor already denied attending the WEF and that he is South Africa for another event entirely.

Even if they have been there before the decision to boycott the program was taken, what stops them from taking the next available flight to Nigeria in solidarity?

They are attending cos they don’t have any moral values and don’t care about the people affected cos Fayemi and the midget are not in anyway related.

It’s a shame!
El-Rufai and Fayemi were even happy and laughing in the South Africa where Nigerians are being killed and their businesses destroyed.

Shame!

The cabals have told Onyeama to save Elrufai's blushes.

They know the bad PR his attendance is creating hence the need to exonerate him of any wrong doing in lieu of 2023, lest we judge him with it.

And I think if APC would allow power go to the southwest in 2023, it is either gonna be Osibanjo/Elrufai or Fayemi/Elrufai.

If my guts are right, then I think Elrufai as VP candidate is forgone conclusion. Now, if Elrufai must be deputy, then automatically Tinubu and Raji Fashola would be out already because they Muslims and APC would know better than field a Muslim/Muslim ticket.

Elrufai is then to be President after 8 years of southwest to make sure that Fulani agenda is perpetually protected. These guys have decided our case.

Yet Fayemi came out to swear he was not in South Africa for WEF.
I will never vote for any party that has a Lying Mohammed as it's spokesperson.
Where's that seunmsg again? Come and defend the latest spin.

Even if they were already on ground when the announcement for a boycott was made, after hearing that Nigeria will boycott the meeting, why did they still attend?
