Kayode Fayemi In Big Trouble

These are not the best of times for ex-Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State as his guber ambition has suffered a setback as a group, under the aegis of Concerned All Progressives Congress (APC) members, has called on the party top hierarchy to disqualify him over alleged indictment by the state government and refusal to resign as a minister.

The group’s Coordinator, Dr. Ife Olu-Olubusuyi, said: “We are concerned and we advised that the APC headquarters must adhere strictly to its own rules and disqualifies whoever has not met the minimum conditions for governorship as indicated by the constitution and guidelines.”

“It is by doing this that we can have a credible candidate and proceeds to win the general election. Prior to his formal declaration on April 14, the minister had been boasting and spreading news that presidency and NWC had picked him and will impose him as the candidate of the APC.”

“Even after our National Chairman, Chief Oyegun visited Ekiti and denied any such plan of imposition and promised a free, fair and credible primary, the minister and his men continued to inform and spread news of his impending imposition by the presidency and powers that be, spearheaded by Ondo State governor.”

“We are also aware of the guidelines of the APC for qualification as an aspirant for governorship and there was a specific question as to whether someone has been indicted at home or abroad by a judicial panel or awaiting any criminal court charges. We are also conscious of the specification regarding 30 days minimum condition for resignation from office before any election, which Fayemi has not met.”
