Hon. Oluwafemi Fadairo, an APC aspirant for the Akure North/Akure South Federal Constituency, has denied reports of a fallout with Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, saying he remains one of the governor’s loyal associates. Fadairo, a former Senior Special Assistant on Community Engagement to Aiyedatiwa and ex-Director of Administration of the Senate, spoke in Akure while meeting with APC ward chairmen and stakeholders ahead of Monday’s direct primary.

He indicated his decision to run came after sustained calls from constituents who believe he has the experience and grassroots reach to deliver effective representation in the House of Representatives. “I have been screened and cleared by the APC screening committee on Friday, so the road is clear for my aspiration,” Fadairo indicated. “The party has adopted direct primaries for this election, and we are fully prepared.

” Dismissing rumours of tension, he stressed that there was no disagreement between him and the governor. “I have a cordial relationship with Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa. I am not fighting him, and there is absolutely no friction between us,” he indicated. “This is a contest, and we cannot destroy what our people have built over the years because of politics.

” Fadairo recalled serving as director-general for Aiyedatiwa’s primary campaign in Akure, adding, “What I did for him then is what I am doing for myself now.
