Nigerians have been warned against allowing politicians to distract them from addressing some of the issues of governance bedevilling the nation.
The warning was issued to Nigerians by a former governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi who described fights by politicians as a mere entertainment tool for citizens.
Speaking at an event to mark his 60th birthday celebration, the former governor said fights and bickering by politicians are not real.
Fayemi said, “So, all these things you read on social media are for your entertainment.
“Many will wonder why Governor Segun Oni is here. During his birthday, I spent the entire day with him, and Governor Ayodele Fayose too would have been here without hesitation if he was around,” he said.
He added that irrespective of political differences and affiliations, politicians, especially the ones from Ekiti state are not enemies.
We might belong to different political parties, but there is one party that we collectively belong to – that is the Ekiti Party, Ekiti Progressive Party – and our governor is carrying on with that,” Fayemi noted.
