My purported suspension joke taken too far, says Fayemi

Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has described his alleged suspension by a faction of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State as a joke taken too far.

The faction of the party led by Senator Anthony Adeniyi said on Friday in Ado Ekiti that Fayemi was suspended for alleged anti-party activities.

Fayemi in his reaction to the purported suspension through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Yinka Oyebode, said that those who carried out the alleged suspension are unknown to Ekiti APC.

“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 suspension letter were executive members of the party at ward, Local government or state level,” Oyebode said.

“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.”

Oyebode said the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party is governed by laws, adding that members of the group cannot hide under their recent suspension to announce a dubious suspension they lack the locus to handle.

“Governor Fayemi however remains unperturbed by this antics of suspended members.

“Well meaning members of the public as well as members of APC are urged to disregard the news of the purported suspension as it only exists in the imagination of members of the group.

“Dr Kayode Fayemi remains the indisputable leader of the APC in Ekiti State.”
