The Minister of Mines and Steel
Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Wednesday said that he would resign from the
federal cabinet “in a week.”
Fayemi, who is the governorship candidate
of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, spoke to State House
Correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, shortly after he was formally
presented to President Muhammadu Buhari.
When asked when he will resign his
appointment as a minister, Fayemi initially claimed that there was still a lot
of work to be done.
He referred the reporters to Section 182
of the Constitution, which he said allowed him to be in office till at least 30
days to the election.
“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,”
Fayemi said.
