APC youths: Fayemi wanted
Fayose out, but got duped by
Aluko
Some youths of the All
Progressives Congress (APC)
under the aegis of Ekiti APC
Youths Congress (EAYC) have
alleged that the desperation of
Kayode Fayemi, minister of state
for solid minerals, to remove
Ayodele Fayose, Ekiti state
governor, from office made him
fall prey to Temitope Aluko, ex-
secretary of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
The group, which claimed that
APC leaders in Ekiti were more
interested in removing Fayose
from office than assisting “our
party members who are
hungry”, said Fayemi spent
millions of naira on Aluko
against its warning.
EAYC threatened to leave APC if
its leaders continue being
insensitive to the plight of party
members.
“We warned our party leaders
that Aluko was only duping
them, but they refused to listen,”
EAYC said in a statement signed
by Tope Ogunkuade, its
convener, and Tunji Adeleye, its
secretary.
“Because of APC leaders’
obsession for their ‘Fayose Must
Go’ agenda, they refused to
listen when they were being
warned against wasting their
money on Aluko.
“Now that Aluko has returned to
Fayose, isn’t it time for our
leaders to face reality and stop
looking for crude means of
getting Fayose out of office, and
getting duped in the process?”
The youth said the party was
focusing on damage control over
Aluko’s meeting with Fayose,
wondering why Aluko did not
inform “those who have been
wasting millions of naira on him
when he was going to meet
Fayose”.
“If Aluko was honest, shouldn’t
he have informed the likes of Dr
Fayemi and Senator Babafemi
Ojudu before going to meet
Fayose?” the statement read.
“Whatever excuses that Aluko
gives today, he has vindicated
our position that he was only
scamming our party leaders and
cashing in on their desperation
to return to power through the
backdoor instead of preparing
for 2018.
“It is however not too late for us
if only our leaders will face
reality, purge themselves of this
their ‘Fayose Must Go’ obsession
and deploy their money into
assisting our party members,
who are dying of hunger.
“Any further attempt to keep
funding the likes of Aluko will
mean that our leaders have
opted to ease us out of the party
and we won’t mind leaving the
APC for them before they kill it
with their insensitivity to the
plights of our members.”
