    Why I apologised — Fayemi Empty Why I apologised — Fayemi

    Dr. Kayode Fayemi has given reasons for the apology he
    rendered following his emergence as the candidate of the
    APC even as he yesterday dismissed the indictment raised
    against him by the Ekiti State Government as
    inconsequential.
    He spoke following his presentation to President
    Muhammadu Buhari as the candidate of the party for the
    election by the chairman of the APC Gubernatorial Primaries
    Committee, Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarwa State.
    Fayemi disclosed on the occasion that he would resign his
    position as a minister within one week.
    On the apology rendered immediately after his emergence, he
    said:
    “You should understand the context of the apology, don’t
    just take the apology on its own. What I said was that
    clearly, there were people in Ekiti even though they were a
    minority, who were not happy with some of the policies and
    programmes of our government whilst we were in office and
    to such people, I render an apology. But, for me, the rescue
    mission in Ekiti is a job that has to be done.
    “What do you want? You want continuity of lack of salary,
    continuity of poverty, continuity of want, continuity of lack of
    direction or you want to return to a past of buoyancy, human
    development, accountability and transparency in government.
    That is the clear dividing line, and people can see that.
    “As to the probe panel that you mentioned, well, I don’t want
    to dwell on the probe panel. But, the law of the land is clear,
    it is only a court of competent jurisdiction that can convict
    anyone, any Nigerian for any malfeasance. You cannot seat in
    your house, cook up a probe panel, a kangaroo tribunal and
    you say you have indicted someone and that person is guilty
    and should be ban from public office. That is just a joke, but
    then the man we are talking about is an Alawada like we say
    in Yorubaland, so that is not surprising.”
    On the date of his resignation from the cabinet, he said:
    “There is still a lot of work to do. The constitution again is
    very clear, what the constitution says in Section 182 is that I
    must leave the cabinet at least 30 days before the General
    Election.
    “Well, I am the candidate of our party, and I am also the
    minister of the Federal Republic at least for the next one
    week. So, for the next one week, I am the minister of mines
    and steel.”
