Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, on Sunday, in Katsina State, accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of promoting mediocrity and lacking in fair reward system.
Governor Fayemi is one of the presidential aspirants seeking to succeed incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
In the words of the governor, “The reward system in our party is faulty, it is unfair and it is not working, therefore, it has to be adjusted before we achieve the desired unity.”

He continued, “We need to insist that our party should be a party where Baboon is working, the baboon will chop, and if monkey works, only monkey should chop.”
Governor Fayemi, who is also Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF), said he would ensure unity of the entire country if he emerges President.
He continued, “I have done a lot for the party at various capacities and also working closely with President Muhammad Buhari.

“I have all the qualities to lead the country as President. And, as one of the stakeholders who facilitated the emergence of the APC, I will ensure the unity of the party members.”
His host, Governor Aminu Bello Masari, described Governor Fayemi as ‘having all the qualities’ to be the President of the country like the other APC presidential aspirants.
He commended the Ekiti State governor for the role he played towards the emergence of President Buhari as the then APC presidential candidate.
According to Governor Masari, “from that background, for us, he has qualified to ask for us to give him support to be the presidential flag-bearer of the party.”
