  • He added that a Partisan Politics breeds enmity and hence a unity government was the solution

Former Governor of Ekiti, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has revealed that his party in 2012 (ACN at the time) stood against fuel subsidy removal even though they knew it was right because of politics.

Fayemi made with his keynote address delivered at a national dialogue organized to celebrate the 60th birthday celebration of the founding National Secretary of Alliance for Democracy and Fellow, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Professor Udenta Udenta in Abuja.

Fayemi had been saying that the government needs to be one of Unity instead of the winner of elections getting everything.
