Governor Fayemi made this admission in an interview with Channels Television on Monday.

The Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, has admitted that he is spending more time in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja than in Ekiti State where he ought to be in charge of governance.But he explained that where he spent his time should not be a source of worry to the people; rather the people's concern should be if he was not performing his duty as a governor.“I know some [people] feel it.

“But, you know, that shouldn’t bother anyone beyond perception level. It is whether it is telling on my performance as a governor that should be worrying,” he noted. There have been viral allegations that some governors do abandon their states and move to Abuja once they are elected into power. Some governors also in the past travelled abroad for months while their states suffer.

Ekiti is one of such states where the complaints about an absentee Chief executive have been resonating, with the citizens and members of the opposition saying Governor Fayemi relocated to Abuja even when Ekiti State needs him much.

Imagine such a flawed statement and u now have the guts so even think of wanting to preside over nigeria so u can spend more time in the uk. Go and preside over ur house and then ur family first. After depriving Ekiti people of the franchise

Problem with nigerian politicians is dt dy think every nigerian NOT in govt is a big fool, and believes whatever dy say, no matter how stupid it is. Imagine d governor of Texas state in d US saying dt even though he stays in NY more dn in Texas, dt does not affect his duties.

How will you spend more time in Abuja than Ekiti? How will you know issues to be solved.. clueless governors

kfayemi eleribu alai ni itiju

Governor oloyibo

This end of ur political career

He should have said this in his first tenure

Meaning Ekiti people don't need you, just stay put in Abuja, if the Ekiti state house of assembly are not being controlled by your juju they would have impeached you Tay Tay. I hate nonesense

Roving ambassador!

Govenoring from Abuja,really so if you president now whr will u be? Dubai or UK.shiò

Story.Ekiti-Abujan I beggiiiii

Absent governor kfayemi he will now spend more time in UK if he win presidensy

Why Obi says HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY BUSINESS IN ABUJA..... Different people. Choice wisely

Nonsense, just imagine

Na this okpe wan become president 😂 he will spend more time in ghana than Nigeria 😂

Why are you running for your state

If become president, he will spend more time in Dubai than Abuja and his duties won't be affected. Is this the leader we Nigerians want? Let's drop ethnic and religion sentiment and back the candidacy of PeterObi for a better Nigeria.

Just like Buhari thought his duties were not affected by spending so much time in London on medical vacation

And so........

This is preposterous. Is Abuja your state of governance? Sometimes our elders tries to justify their incompetence. Can you rule/ control your home effectively and efficiently from afar?

Yes, he needs to spend more time in Abuja nawhun, abi? Foolish erudite

Is the audacity for me!

Why not develop your state like Abuja rather Than running helter skelter Truly certification is not intelligence

This guy should keep quiet

Fayemi should not throw spanner at more credible candidates. Spending more time in Abuja than Ekiti as a governor says alot.

Nonsense

How would you know that when you your self is not there to know most of the encountered problems amongs your people whom you are governing in the state sir.

Openly telling us the level of his seriousness

Does that mean you delegated your duties and if so, we're you elected only to delegate your duties?

Even Buhari spent more time in UK than in Nigeria and he is NGRPresident of NIGERIA. Imagine buhari was zelensky? And there was war! Am sure he won't be in Nigeria

If you choose to spend more time in Abuja than Ekiti State, you might as well contest for governorship of FCT instead of Ekiti State. Ekiti State deserve a full time and resident governor, not part time governor.

Are you losing your sight?Are u having weak erection because of Diabetes?there's no problem without solution,I'm here to help u with my powerful Herbal mixture that cures Diabetes in less than two weeks,D good feedback help me to preach more about it,give me D benefits of doubt.

So when you become president you live in London

That means when you becomes Mr. President you will be in Germany more than nigeria kwo ?

And they elect you as governor in EKITI state☹️

granted if not time to go cap in hand on monthly revenue allocation sharing exercise,Abuja could ostensibly be a distraction,only for a sit in state Givernor...?!

He should just become the FCT minister then ....since that where he is elected

Was Gov Fayemi elected to govern Ekiti from Abuja?This is also among those that want to be president of Nigeria.

What a rubbish thing to say

So if you become president you will spend more time in UK than ni9

Are you governor of Abuja or Ekiti? Which people voted you into power or were you rigged into power as APC have let us know that they survive through rigging and rigging alone.

Abuja governor

Second afonja

Very arrogant set of people, they think they are better than the people that elected them. Were you elected to preside from Abuja? It is only in Nigeria that politician behave this way and no consequence. Big shame on you for this talk

Do you see how Shameless and stupid this man is during the time of election you will be galavanting from one place to another in ekiti and you won the election now you spend more time in Abuja and he is shamelessly saying doesn't affect duties what a country

You can just imagine, did you really say that Mr Governor? No I don't think.

And you're not even ashamed to even say this.

Even Before Your Primary Election, You've Already Lose

I kept saying it, this man is one of the useless Governors in Nigeria. I've never seen the development he brought to Ekiti since he became Governor.

Some people said it then, and what was the response from parasites.

Your cock will come home to roost at night.

So you are An Abuja Governor?

Internet Governor

That list he said truth for once

Because na Abuja people vote am abe

If he became the president, he would be governing Nigeria from Niger, Cameroon or Benin Republic.

How can an elected governor of a state be so carefree and nonchalant about this? It's finally finished. E-governance has started in our country.

A portfolio Governor! And the clown wants to become the President. He’ll then be mostly abroad, saying he can rule from anywhere. Never!

Like an employee who says, ' I spend more time at home, but my job functions aren't affected'. Dr. JB.

It is abuja people that vited you in na abi...... the arrogance of this man saying his duties not affected, a slap in the face of Ekiti people is what it is.

You can imagine Mr governor. That is where you govern Ekiti State, soon Buhari will ruling Nigeria from Dubai.

Thats evidence of a very bad leader.

Like the way they come up with issues atimes dey tire me. Should this one be a news for Christ sake

Being acquainted, Being a judge…

I won’t vote for you, before you will start spending more time in America 🇺🇸 to get dual citizenship 🥱

Weyrey.. no shame

Governor of Ekiti state Abuja zonal coordinator

Why them give your transportation minister. Oni yeye. Na election time dem go yan rubbish.

He spends more time in Abuja because Nigeria is not truly a federal state. Abuja is the money sharing ground, i don’t blame Fayemi the money lover.

Governor of Abuja, Ekiti branch😞

Is Abuja that voted for you, some govenor don't deserve to be governors, instead to move round ur state to find way to improve the state.

Second Buhari

Unbelievable

Just checking if your Normal sir…

Someone who was voted to govern his people spends more time Abuja. Oro katikati

Does it make sense, how did you become their governor in Ekiti?

Werey

Become the president and spend more time abroad than in Nigeria

How can u leave ur matrimonial home and spend more time in another's house but u are still in charge of ur home

Will you keep quiet. Shameless Man. I don't blame you but the people that brought you to Office again. In a sane clime, Fayemi would not be a 2nd term Governor.

Yeah right! Wetin u dey do for Abuja?

He’ll spend more time junketing the world and his duties in Nigeria will not be affected. Jokers!

And you are proud to say it.

Abuja governor,not Ekiti state governor. That's why there's no any development within the state

If Nigerian states are functioning as federation units and not mere appendages, the entire country wouldn't be so dependent on Abuja for allocation, economy, security etc. The entire system is flawed. Nigeria wasn't designed to benefit the people.

Sigh 😞

But your electorate are in Ekiti. Also voted for as the governor of Ekiti state not as governor of Abuja…… Rubbish

Is alright...
