Fayemi Denies Link to ADC Coalition, Reaffirms Commitment to APC

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has distanced himself from reports linking him to the formation of a new African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, insisting that he remains a loyal leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement on Sunday, Ahmad Sajoh, Head of Fayemi’s Media Office in Abuja, described as false a viral claim attributed to former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, alleging that both men founded the ADC coalition before expanding it to include others.

“Despite efforts to verify this statement, which has gained traction on social and digital media, we have found no credible evidence to support it. No video of Hon. Amaechi making these claims or reports from reputable media organisations has been located,” Sajoh said.

He suggested that the alleged remarks may have been fabricated to stir controversy or cause political mischief, adding, “It is possible that Amaechi did not make the statement or was misquoted. We urge the public to treat any news concerning Fayemi with caution, particularly when it originates solely from social media.”

Reaffirming Fayemi’s political stance, Sajoh stressed: “We unequivocally state that these claims lack any basis.

Dr Fayemi remains a committed member and leader of the APC in Ekiti State. At various public forums in Ekiti and nationwide, he has consistently affirmed his dedication to the APC, working to address its challenges and advance its progressive ideals for Nigeria. Nothing has changed.”

The statement comes amid heightened political speculations ahead of the 2027 general elections, with some social media narratives suggesting realignments among prominent politicians.
