Ekiti APC Members Accuse Fayemi Of Supporting Obaseki

Some members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State have alleged that Governor Kayode Fayemi supported Governor Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to win the just concluded Edo governorship election.

The APC members made the allegations known in a statement on Monday signed by Bamgboye Adegoroye, one of the chieftains of the party in the state.

He alleged that the governor is planning to expel some members loyal to Babafemi Ojudu, political aide to President Muhammadu Buhari. Adegoroye, on behalf of other members, also accused Fayemi of being behind their summons for allegedly disobeying the party’s directive and failure to withdraw cases instituted against the party in court.

He said: “A curious process is taking place in the Ekiti State branch of our progressive party. Our governor and the chairman of Nigeria’s Governors Forum, Dr Kayode Fayemi, after installing the governor of Edo State in a clear case of anti-party, is bent on expelling leaders of the party.

“Towards achieving this purpose he (Fayemi) has set up a committee of his adulators to put us on trial in a predetermined process. The committee is chairmanned by one Mr Ajigbolamu who recently left the PDP to join our party. We also know that the affairs of the committee is managed by the office of the Attorney General Mr Wale Fapounda, his anointed for the position of the governor when his term is over in 2022.

“We demanded of him the dissolution of this product of illegality and institution of a legitimate executive in compliance with our party’s constitution. We intimated our party leaders of these concerns; the same problem which was present in his first term that led to our losing the state to PDP with ignominy in the year 2014.”

He also accused the governor of hounding them and suspending members, leading them to resort to instituting court cases to protect their rights.

He said: “We are threatened by the strategy the governor “is trying to employ by setting up a committee to expel us. We, however, insist we shall under no circumstance leave the party to join another. We were members of the party from foundation and also members of ACN, a legacy party that joined with others to form APC. We were in the other progressive parties, AD, AC that existed before and transformed to the present party.”

“We also make bold to say that some of us being threatened with expulsion were responsible for inviting Governor Fayemi in 2005 to come home and run for the governor of our state. We also worked tirelessly for the period of three and a half years it took to get him installed as governor through the court process.”

“Ekiti is a progressive state and this has been right from independence. We shall not sit down and allow one man’s incompetence to turn our state to a PDP state or a state where batons are exchanged between PDP and APC every four years thus depriving it of the necessary stability to ensure its growth. We are therefore calling our national leadership to stop Dr Kayode Fayemi from killing our party in Ekiti. Things are bad enough now for the party in the state.”

“Allowing him to carry out our expulsion will only spell doom for our beloved APC.”
