The candidate, who was accompanied by APC Ekiti State Chairman, Chief Jide Awe, and some chieftains of the party visited Engr Segun Oni at his Ifaki-Ekiti country home early on Sunday morning.

Thereafter, he visited Rt.Hon Femi Bamisile, another aspirant and former Speaker of the state House of Assembly at his Ado-Ekiti residence. Fayemi  also visited Mr Kola Alabi and Dr Wole Oluyede  at their respective residences in Ikere –Ekiti.

Dr Fayemi described his discussion with his co-contestants as “frank and useful”, even as he expressed optimism that the party would go into the July 14 poll as a united entity.

The APC standard bearer, had a few hours after his declaration as winner of the governorship primary, told his supporters of the need to maintain cordial relationship with other co-contestants and their supporters.

He had also hinted on plans to constitute a body of all co-contestants into the Candidate’s Advisory Council.
