Dr. Kayode Fayemi has resigned his appointment as Minister of Mines and Steel Development to concentrate on defeating Kolapo Olusola, Governor Ayo Fayose’s deputy, at the July 14 governorship election in Ekiti State.

Fayemi tendered his resignation letter to President Muhammadu Buhari three weeks ago, but it officially takes effect from Wednesday, May 30.

Fayemi, who will be the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer in the election having won a rescheduled primary of the party on May 12, will be in office today to address a press conference where he will give account of his stewardship in the ministry and finally sign off at 12:00pm.

To become the Ekiti APC candidate, Fayemi polled 941 votes.

The aspirants who came closest were Segun Oni (481 votes), Kayode Ojo (281), Olufemi Richard Bamisile (179), Oluyede Oluwole (121), and Aluko Daniel Olugbenga (86).

Fayose has already boasted that an “electoral disaster” awaits Fayemi in July, saying: “He will suffer the worst defeat of his political career… after the July 14 election, he will go into political oblivion.”

Battle of the titans

He's gonna suffer back to back defeat.

I remember having to educate some wailers who were wailing that Fayemi did not resign before the primaries, that he only has to resign before the election if he gets his party's ticket.

Wailers don't wail with common sense anyway.

Since 2015 when PDP lost the power to write election results as they used to do, how many elections has the party won since then?

Even in Anambra, PDP came second behind APC.

In Ondo, they lost.
In Edo, they lost.
Anambra, na loss.

Hopefully this is the return of the jedi

The empire struck back in 2014

goodluck......not Jonathan

who is taking over his post as MINISTER?
This is a very serious question.

Ok. It is noted.
All the best to the good people of Ekiti State as they decide on July 14th.

Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the next Governor of Ekiti State.

If people voted you out the first time doesn’t it mean they didn’t want you anymore

my governor

Ole

Fayemi ọkọ Bisi Ọmọ logba logba. A bitter loser who have nothing but revenge in his mind. He's coming to meet a fellow thief in Eleka's body.
Ekiti is in for a rough ride.

If he had waited till June 14 he would have been barred from contesting...

Even if this man wins, PDP will likely floor him in the court for failing to resign his appointment before contesting the primary, because the Constitution/law recognises primary as one of the phases of election process.

He resigned to focus on failing at the election

Fayemi after Ekiti Election.....

Criessssssss!!! Chaiiiii, I would have Remained in my post oooooo

Soon now by 12:00pm you will hear he came out to deny ever resigning. Mtsww...shior. Politicians for naija dey sabi wetin resign be??

OK.... where is the baseline drawn?

Fayose must be disgraced and defeated mercilessly in the upcoming election.

The nemesis of how he ruffled his way to become governor must visit him.

Karma is bitch.....
What goes around must surely come around for fayose.

it will shock that Fayemi dude, e no go get anything last last

If Fayemi likes let him spend 20 hours everyday doing political campaigns all i know is that he will be roundly beaten at the governorship polls!

Hmmmm.. Elite keep on enjoy the dividend of Democracy.. Only God will decide. Till July 14

Waste of time and opportunity to be a minister in the dullards regime
