Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has defended himself for failing to attend governors’ meeting with president Muhammadu Buhari, saying the notice was impromptu.

State governors paid the president a goodwill visit to formally welcome him to the country after spending over 100 days in London on medical leave.

Governor Fayose, a critic of the president, said, ”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 (Friday), Fayose tweeted.

According to the governor, guests were already in Ekiti since yesterday (Thursday) for the chieftaincy title installation before he 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 (Saturday) to which I am committed,” he added.
