He also said that “he could not have abandoned his guests for an impromptu meeting with the president.” According to him,  “For those insinuating that I shunned the president’s meeting with governors, I didn’t. I had my installation as Apesin of Ado Ekiti slated for today. “Guests were already in Ekiti since yesterday for the chieftaincy title installation before I received notice of the meeting with the President. “There was no how I could have abandoned the people here in Ado Ekiti for the impromptu meeting with the President.” What we hear is President said this, said that; where is president Buhari?
