The Ekiti governor wrote on Twitter:

"With Governors Udom Emmanuel and Badaru Abubakar and my predecessor in office, Governor Ayo Fayose in Government House this morning. Both Governors Udom and Badaru came to conduct gubernatorial primaries in Ekiti.

"This camaraderie demonstrates clearly that for us in Ekiti and indeed in the Nigeria Governors' Forum, it is politics without bitterness. After hot exchanges and political disagreements, it's possible to disagree without being disagreeable.
