It is in the public domain that members of the Ekiti state house of assembly recently endorsed the 2023 presidential ambition of Kayode Fayemi, despite that he has not openly declared his intention for the top seat. Funminiyi Afuye, speaker of the house who spoke on behalf of the 26-member assembly, gave the endorsement verdict while receiving a group under the auspices ‘Our Belief Project’.
