Dr Kayode Fayemi, Ekiti State Governor has dismissed his reported suspension by a faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying he remains the leader of the party in the state.
Fayemi’s alleged suspension over anti-party activities was communicated in a statement signed by Senator Babafemi Ojudu and other bigwigs of the All Progressives Congress like Senator Adeniyi, Senator Dayo Adeyeye, Bimbo Daramola, Hon Robinson Ajiboye, Hon Oyetunji Ojo, Hon Adewale Omirin and Hon Femi Adeleye.
In a statement through his Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode, Governor Fayemi said the aggrieved leaders led by Senator Tony Adeniyi were unknown to the party and describing the alleged suspension as “a joke taken too far.”
He explained that the leaders had been suspended in accordance with the party’s constitution and that they lacked the power to announce the suspension of the governor.
Read his statement below:
“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 the suspension letter are 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. Dr Kayode Fayemi remains the indisputable leader of the APC in Ekiti State.”
