Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has revealed why he did not attend the meeting President Muhammadu Buhari had with the 36 states governors.

Earlier today Nigerian state governors met with President Buhari at the Statehouse in Abuja as part of his move to unite the country.

News gathered that Fayose in a series of tweets on Friday, August 25, explained that he did not attend the meeting because of his installation as Apesin - Apagun P'ote of Ado-Ekiti at the Ewi's Palace.

He wrote: “For those insinuating that I shunned the President’s meeting with governors, I didn’t. I had my installation as Apesin of Ado Ekiti slated for today.

“Guests were already in Ekiti since yesterday for the chieftaincy title installation before I received notice of the meeting with the President.

“There was no how I could have abandoned the people here in Ado Ekiti for the impromptu meeting with the President.

“Also, there is Udiroko, a major festival in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital tomorrow to which I am committed.”

In a previous report Fayose said that his agitation and revelation about what had happened to the president was responsible for the return of President Buhari on Saturday August 19.

Governor Fayose speaking to leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party at the government office on Wednesday August 23, said he stands by all his claims that the President was in coma on July 6, adding that he has no apology whatsoever for all he has said.
