In a series of tweets on Friday, the governor explained why he didn’t attend what he termed the “impromptu” meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and all state governors in Nigeria. He said:
For those insinuating that I shunned d 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 d 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 to which I am committed.
