A former governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode
Fayemi, said on Tuesday that his nomination as
a minister by President Muhammadu Buhari
came as a surprise.
The ex-governor said he didn’t anticipate his
inclusion in the President’s ministerial list.
He told journalists at the All Progress Congress
(APC) National Secretariat that although he was
with President Buhari till about 4:00pm on the
day the list was submitted to the Senate
President, the President never mentioned it to
him that he was being considered for
appointment.
Fayemi, who was the Director of Research and
Strategy of the APC Presidential Campaign
Council, is one of the 21 ministerial nominees
submitted to the Senate by President Buhari.
He said, “Well, to the extent that I was not told
by the President that I was going to be on his
list, yes, it came as a surprise. The President is
a surprise master, let me put it that way.
