Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has attributed his absence at the Presidential Villa for a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari to the chieftaincy title he was conferred with in Ekiti State on the same day the President met with State Governors.
Recall Buhari shortly after meeting with leadership of the All Progressives Congress and Peoples’ Democratic Party met with state governors.
However, giving reasons for his absence at the meeting, Fayose said he could not abandon his planned event just to attend a impromptu meeting with Buhari.
Governor Fayose who took to his twitter handle to state his reasons for being absent at the meeting said although he received the invitation for the meeting, he had however already scheduled meetings with some respected citizens in preparations for his chieftaincy title installation as the Apesin of Ado Ekiti.

He also said that “he could not have abandoned his guests for an impromptu meeting with the president.”
According to him, “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.
“Guests were already in Ekiti since yesterday for the chieftaincy title installation before I 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.”
