I’ll quit Buhari’s cabinet next week – Fayemi

The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Ekiti State gubernatorial election, Kayode Fayemi, said he will resign his appointment as Minister of Mines and Steel Development next week.

Addressing State House reporters yesterday, the minister said he was resigning in line with a constitutional provision.

“There is still a lot of work to do. The Constitution again is very clear, what the constitution says in Section 182 is that I must leave the cabinet at least 30 days before the general election.

“Well, I am the candidate of our party and I am also the minister of the federal republic at least for the next one week. So, for the next one week, I am the minister of mines and steel,” he said.
