I’m Not Planning To Leave APC For ADC…Fayemi Fully Committed To President Tinubu’s Re-election Bid-Gov Oyebanji

Governor Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State on Monday described as untrue the media report claiming that he, some party leaders and political office holders in the state would soon leave APC for the political party chosen by those who are involved in the opposition alliance against President Bola Tinubu, the  African Democratic Congress (ADC) and that this would be spearheaded by his immediate predecessor, Dr Kayode Fayemi.

Governor Oyebanji, who described the media report in question as false and misleading, noted that it is ‘nothing but another tissue of lies from the camp of some disgruntled elements in the state’.

 Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the governor, who made the clarification in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr Yinka Oyebode ,noted that withholding comment in respect of such a bare-faced falsehood would amount to a disservice to the good people of the state, ‘some of who could be hoodwinked into believing the misleading report’.

‘For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Oyebanji and the public office holders mentioned in the media report, remain firmly rooted in the All Progressives Congress and have no link, nor do they have any plan whatsoever to join the ADC.

While Dr Fayemi and other leaders of the party mentioned in the media report are eminently qualified to defend themselves, it is on record that Dr Fayemi attended the recent APC Caucus meeting held in Iyin-Ekiti, where the caucus endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Oyebanji for a second term, a decision that was widely published in the print, broadcast and online media.

 It should also be noted that Governor Oyebanji had, since the inception of the Fourth Republic in 1999, remained in the progressive fold. He is one of the very few who has never moved out of the progressive movement in Ekiti State.

We are aware of a deliberate attempt by some mischief makers to weaponise Governor Oyebanji’s association with Dr Fayemi in a bid to cause a rift between the governor and President Tinubu. Unfortunately for these jesters, Mr. President is a strategic politician who can see through their shenanigans and hidden agenda.

Ekiti people are urged to disregard this childish media attack, which is being sponsored by some desperate politicians interested in contesting the governorship election in the state.

While these desperate politicians have no clue about how to market their candidacy to the Ekiti electorate or connect with the people, they have resorted to attacking the government on social media and heaping up every imaginable and unintelligent lies against the governor in order to mask their frustrations.

Now that the Independent National Electoral Commission has announced the date for the primary election, we expect them to be bold enough to come out and sell their candidacy to party members and Ekitikete rather than seeking an ignoble way to gatecrash’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
