Immediate-past Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has said he has no plans to join “coronavirus-infected” All Progressives Congress (APC).
He stated this in a Friday statement signed by his Media Aide, Lere Olayinka, while reacting to Ekiti APC’s statement that the ex-governor could not join the party.
According to him, the APC in Ekiti lied and went ahead to react to its own lie of the ex-governor’s purported plot to join the party.
Dismissing reports that the ex-governor was scheming to join APC, Olayinka said, “As I write, Fayose is presently in a meeting of major stakeholders of the PDP in Ekiti State in the house of Senator Clement Awoyelu.”
“The story of Fayose’s threat to leave PDP for the APC is one of the lies from the APC factory of lies and it is even more childish that the party in Ekiti State went ahead to react to its own lies,” Olayinka stated.
He noted that there was nothing in the APC to attract any “right-thinking politician” to the party.
He queried, “Is it the killings and kidnappings going on across the country?
“Is it the pariah State that Nigeria has become such that USA had to place the country on visa restrictions? Is it the huge debt the country has been plunged into? Or is it the directionless state of the country?
“Is it the sacking of over 3,000 workers by the non-performing APC government in Ekiti State?
“Most importantly, is it the confused state of the APC, which has made even the State Chairman of the party in Ekiti State, Mr. Paul Omotoso, to join others in calling for the removal of the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole?
“What is there in the APC to attract someone like Fayose, who is known for his stand in support of the masses of Nigeria that are being made to suffer more hardship by the APC government?
“They can continue to hallucinate about everything Ayodele Fayose, while he continues with his task to rebuild the PDP in Ekiti State with a view to returning to power I’m 2022.”
