PDP GROUP: FAYOSE SHOULD NOT TRADE OLUSOLA’S ‘MANDATE’ WITH APC

Posted By: ODUNAYO OGUNMOLA


Less than twenty four hours after he threatened to leave the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has said Governor Ayo Fayose is not wanted in its fold.

The state APC Chairman, Mr. Paul Omotoso and party chairmen in all wards in Irepodun/Ifelodun local government, where the governor hails from and all wards in Ado-Ekiti, where he lives and has businesses that he is not welcomed in the party.

The party chieftains have told the governor to forget his plans to dump PDP to join APC “until he clears himself of several criminal cases hanging on his neck.”

The warning came on the heels of reports that Fayose had concluded plans to dump PDP following the emergence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the PDP presidential candidate as against Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal who was supported by Fayose.

In a statement on Tuesday by the APC Publicity Secretary, Mr. Ade Ajayi, said the party leaders advised the outgoing governor to conclude his court cases bordering on sundry alleged crimes before contemplating to join APC.

He said: “We want to prove to the world that APC will not provide sanctuary for criminal suspects, political prostitutes and lepers.

We will never admit such character to this party and we advise Fayose to play his politics of destruction somewhere else.

“Fayose’s criminal prosecution on 2005 poultry project fraud resumes on November 4, 2018. Fayose cannot turn Ekiti APC to a haven and sanctuary for criminal suspects and we advise him to forget any plan to smear Ekiti APC with criminal records.”

In a statement, Omotoso told Fayose that APC “is a political party bounded by common ideals of integrity, openness, discipline and commitment to common goal of progressive governance, which Fayose does not possess or believe as can be seen from his style of politics and governance”.

He added: “Fayose over the years abused, disrespected and openly denigrated President Muhammadu Buhari, the leader of our party who is also the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

“Fayose is coming to destroy our party and ensure President Buhari does not get a second term in 2019 and we won’t allow Fayose’s evil plan to materialise”.

Omotoso vowed that on no account would Fayose be admitted into the APC.

He advised Fayose to look elsewhere for a political party that he will destroy after destroying three national political parties when he found it difficult to control the parties.

“Fayose said many times that he would destroy APC. He destroyed Labour Party (LP), All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) People’s Progressive
Alliance (PPA) and at a time he also destroyed PDP before his current activities that led to the present sorry state of PDP in Ekiti State.

“APC is looking for builders and not destroyers in its fold. We will not accept this destroyer in our great party APC and we advise Fayose
to look elsewhere towards his promoters outside the state so that he can destroy the cohesion of the party in the backyards of those promoters.”

He warned all ward chairmen where Fayose lives and runs his businesses against accepting him to the party.

He added: “Our party is not a sanctuary for criminal suspects, political lepers and serial destroyers of the parties they once belonged.

“We hereby warn ward chairmen where Fayose lives or runs his business against admitting him to our great party.

“We hereby state clearly that no ward chairman must open talks with Fayose until such ward chairman clears with the party leadership at the state level.”

Meanwhile, an interest group in Ekiti PDP, Bring Back our Mandate (BBOM) has warned Fayose against negotiating what it called “the mandate given to Prof Kolapo Olusola by the Ekiti electorate with the ruling APC as a soft landing following his latest threat to leave the PDP.”

BBOM in a statement on Tuesday by its Coordinator, Gbenga Ogedengbe, said that the mandate given to Olusola by Ekiti PDP in the last governorship election in the state is not for sales and that the mandate of the people which he claimed was stolen by the APC will be retrieved at the election petition tribunal.

The statement read: “It is important to note that Fayose’s deputy, Prof. Kolapo Olusola Eleka, who doubled as the PDP candidate in July 18, 2018 Ekiti governorship election is currently seeking judicial redress at the Ekiti election petition tribunal holding in Abuja over series of alleged irregularities in the conduct of the poll which returned Dr Kayode Fayemi of the APC as the governor-elect.

“We are not unaware of Governor Ayodele Fayose romance with the APC and his several unrealistic demands with the aim of paving way for a make believe excuse that would enable him save his face while he goes by the way of Akpabio.

“Fayose is afraid of being persecuted by APC attack dogs after leaving office. While wishing the outgoing Ekiti governor a safe trip to APC we are warning APC to avoid being fooled by Fayose as any promise to stop or frustrate the ongoing tribunal by Fayose is simply an empty promise.

“Fayose cannot give what he doesn’t have. The process of retrieving Eleka’s mandate from APC is beyond Fayose. Fayose can’t sell or negotiate with what does not belong to him.”

Let him go to APGA

Fayose, the looser

��

FAYOSE MUST BE IN PAINS.... HE MUST BE IN SERIOUS PAINS!!!

I AM SURE HE CANNOT TURN HIS NECK ANYMORE!!

Fayose will be a disgrace to himself forever if he decamp to apc

I had respect for this man and thought he is brave
Fayose is very stupid and has let me down....

LMAO

Apga should sign him asap

Trust me, this fayose's singular statement will in fact rubbish his image as a rugged man.
His main constituency which is IPOB will definitely not forgive him.
You will see how they will push him back to his own people and call him a chameleon and saboteur

Even PDP Chieftains will be distancing themselves from him.
He scored an own goal.

iammo:
political opharn

Lol dumped by PDP, Now rejected by APC..

Indirect way of inviting Fayose......but Fayose should maintain his dignity from the killer party

Fayose has even been abandoned by those he was entertaining.

APC propaganda and rouge party

APC talking as if they have anything to offer.

who wants a liability in his party?

Igbos please don't abandon your brother o remember he was the only governor that visited your God Nmamdi Kanu in prison. A visitation that has nothing to do with the development of Ekiti state. APC doesn't need you, I know you visited Tinubu in Lagos after the election but that will not stop EFCC from doing their job.

The Oshokomole of Ekiti is not needed in APC. I weep for him.

Chai,and dem dey claim say this country never spoil finish...see as them dey change party like clothe, with no atom of shame...I'm in pain,_________.

Fayose is in pain right now

Please just a quick reminder:
There’s no single politician in this country that loves you, Nobody at all. They’re all there for their pockets. Callous bunch of people. Akala in Oyo State too has decamped to his third party just for ticket. For what purpose? What did he forget? This man is steady trying to get Buhari & his cohorts to waive the corruption case against him.

Bad market

Whether APC or PDP, good governance is the most important thing.

who will want him? even God self will reject this kind of mad man

APC using fayose's statement to hug d headlines.

APC is nt a political party bt an Association of Political Contractors

Winning ticket...
