Fayemi meets with Buhari, speaks on Kano emirates controversy, Edo APC crisis, others

The chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Kayode Fayemi, on Monday, met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House, Abuja.Although he did not disclose what he discussed with the president, Mr Fayemi answered questions on his role in resolving the Kano emirates’ crisis and the crisis in the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress.Q: May we know what brought you here sir?Well, it is a routine visit.

We already held preliminary discussions with both parties and we know that they are both desirous of peace in Kano. We have also briefed Mr President on the mission of this body. It is not a federal government body, I must say that. But the federal government, that is Mr President, is not averse to anything that could assist in ensuring that there is peace in one of the most political states in our country.

Q: What is the position on the review of the revenue sharing which was one of the conditions NGF gave in accepting the new minimum wage?A review of the revenue sharing formula is still the position of the Nigeria’s Governors’ Forum.

Whether that would affect negotiation for the minimum wage, I can tell you no. Minimum wage is a law. But as I have always said to you, a national minimum wage Act is not a general minimum wage review. They are two separate things. Governors are committed to the minimum wage Act and no one is going to pay anything less than N30, 000.

Good one
