Presidential campaign posters of the Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, have flooded social media with the 2023 presidential election only three years away.
The posters indicate that the Governor is seeking to contest for the country’s number one position come 2023.
The posters carry Fayemi’s photograph as a contestant on the platform of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.
The campaign poster was sponsored by the Chairman of Ikere Local Government Area of Ekiti State, Mr Femi Ayodele.
The posters have become a subject of political debate on different social media platforms.
Fayemi is seen in the posters wearing a sky blue Agbada with a blue striped Awolowo cap.
Reacting to the development, the Governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary Yinka Oyebode said he was unaware of the posters.
He said: “Dr Fayemi does not have any knowledge of the campaign poster neither did he authorise Mr Ayodele or any person or group of persons to start a campaign on his behalf.
“As a matter of fact, Mr Ayodele does not and cannot speak for the Governor on any matter, be it policy, administrative or political”.
He added: “Governor Fayemi has reiterated over and over that he has a four-year mandate as Governor of Ekiti State and he is focused on actualising his promises to the people of the state through pragmatic leadership and systemic implementation of his administration’s five pillars of development.
“This also serves as a note of caution to political appointees, government functionaries, political associates and groups to operate within the ambit of decency and steer clear of actions that are capable of distracting the government, the party and the Governor.”
