Ekiti chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, is now split into two as a faction of the party announced the suspension of Governor Kayode Fayemi from the party.
Earlier on Thursday, a faction loyal to Fayemi, announced the suspension of 12 members of the party, including Senator Babafemi Ojudu, special adviser on political matters to President Muhammadu Buhari
Now a group led by Senator Tony Adeniyi which called itself the authentic State Executive Committee of Ekiti APC has suspended Fayemi, accusing him of anti-party activities, hobnobbing with PDP and failing the party in organising ward elections. Then they declared the faction loyal to Fayemi as illegal.
According to a statement released by the party on Friday, September 25, the governor was suspended due to “his numerous anti-party activities, especially his role in the recently concluded governorship election in Edo State which is contrary to the provisions of Article 21 (A) (ii) of the APC Constitution.”
The party also claimed that five days before the Edo Election, Gov Fayemi hosted PDP big wig Mr. Femi Fani- Kayode in the government house in Ado Ekiti and planned a coup against Edo APC.
Another allegation leveled against Governor Fayemi by the party was that he played a role in the gubernatorial election in Oyo State and supported the PDP candidate to defeat the APC candidate.
