Gov Fayemi’s Purported Suspension: A Joke Taken Too Far, Says Aide as APC Leadership Wades In

Ololade Adeyanju/

The purported suspension of Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, by a faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been described as a joke taken too far.

In his reaction to the purported suspension by those he described as an unknown group, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Yinka Oyebode,  described the action as a joke taken too far.

The national leadership of APC has also described the purported suspension of Fayemi and the Political Adviser to the President, Sen. Babafemi Ojudu by different factions of the party in the state as a nullity.

The Caretaker/Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee of the party headed by Gov. Mai Mala Buni made the declaration in a statement issued Friday in Abuja.

A statement issued by Oyebode says the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party is governed by laws, adding that members of the group cannot hide under their recent suspension to announce a dubious suspension they lack the locus to handle.

He stated: “While one would have dismissed their claims as another failed attempt to polarise the party in the state, it is also important to put it on record that the action of the group smacks of criminal impersonation as none of those who signed the purported suspension letter were executive members of the party at ward, Local government or state level.

“The action is but a joke taken too far as they never had such power they want to arrogate to themselves while they were members of the party,  much less now that they have been suspended.

“Governor Fayemi, however, remains unperturbed by this antics of suspended members.

“Well-meaning members of the public, as well as members of APC, are urged to disregard the news of the purported suspension as it only exists in the imagination of members of the group.

“Dr Kayode Fayemi remains the indisputable leader of the APC in the state.”
