Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has described political rivalries in Nigeria as mere theatrics designed to entertain the public.
Speaking at his 60th birthday thanksgiving service at St. Martin’s Catholic Church, Isan Ekiti, on Sunday, Fayemi noted that political disputes among politicians are not genuine.
“All these things you read on social media are just for your entertainment,” he said, addressing those surprised by the presence of his political opponents at the event.
He cited the attendance of former Governor Segun Oni and stated that another former governor, Ayodele Fayose, would have also been present if he were in town.
“The vision we have always had is a state that will not be separated by the political divide.
We might be members of different political parties, but there’s one party that we collectively belong to, which is the ‘Ekiti Progressive Party,’ and our governor is carrying on with that,” Fayemi added.
Expressing gratitude, he described himself as “a product of grace” and reflected on his journey, stating he has many reasons to be thankful to God at 60.
