#SoundOff: Kayode Fayemi Deserves An Oscar, By Charles Novia

Must read

[dropcap]D[/dropcap]r. Fayemi, Ex-Governor of Ekiti State should really join the acting community. I am sure he would make a good actor. He says he didn’t even know President Muhammadu Buhari nominated him for minister and he was as surprised as everyone when he heard his name was announced by the Senate President on Tuesday, October 6, 2015.

Hear him; “Well, to the extent that I was not told by the President that I was going to be on his list, yes, it came as a surprise. The President is a surprise master, let me put it that way. He did not tell anyone to the best of my knowledge and I would have thought that I was in vantage position to know more than others.

“I was with him for five days before then, I was with him in New York at the United Nation General Assembly and he never said a word about his list to me nor to anyone else. We came back to Nigeria together, I was with him till 4:00pm on the evening he submitted the list to the President of the Senate and I didn’t have any clue of what is going to happen. So, to that extent I was pleasantly surprised,” he said.

Excuse me while I yawn a bit. *Big Yawn.

So, Fayemi was the strategy huncho for Buhari’s Presidential Campaign, has been following the President all over the world for official visits and has been seeing his name on the spurious lists which have flown round social media all these months and he STILL DIDN’T KNOW HE WOULD BE ON THE LIST!

Dude deserves an Oscar.

And Wait a minute; if he didn’t know he was on the list, does it mean he wasn’t in anyway screened by the DSS as others were reportedly screened via in-person interviews before their names were sent to the Senate?

Anyway, I just think Dr. Fayemi’s story is too much of a Lai Mohammed’s cheese on this list.
