Fayemi on the other hand was seen holding Amosun’s hand.
While still holding the hand of Amosun, the former Ekiti governor reportedly sang one of King Sunny Ade’s tunes, saying:
“Ko le se kija ma wa o, bi ija ba de o, se lo ye ka pari e, ko le se ki ija ma wa o – which means “misunderstanding is unavoidable, when it occurs, we ought to settle it.”
However, Governor Amosun cautioned Fayemi to stop the song.
Sources also claim that all the persuasive moves by Ajimobi for Tinubu to stay a little for the second meeting were rejected as he immediately drove away in a Range Rover Sports Utility Van.
