He also berated those accusing Fayemi of plotting to suspend the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Egbeyemi raised an alarm that “fifth columnists and mischief-makers” were trying to cause disaffection between him and the governor.
A statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Odunayo Ogunmola, debunked claims that Fayemi threatened his deputy with impeachment.
Egbeyemi stated that Fayemi never told him to coerce the executives of the APC Ward 8 in Ado Ekiti to sign a resolution to suspend Ojudu.

Egbeyemi added that speculations that Fayemi wants to remove him are false.
