Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State has been lambasted by President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu for the removal of his Ado Ward 8 Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Clement Afolabi.

Ojudu said; “I wonder why the party will remove its ward chairman for identifying with the South West Agenda (SWAGA), a group within the APC mobilising support for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

“How can you sanction a party man for identifying with the ambition of a member of his party? This fellow is a member of our party and he chose to go with Tinubu. What is wrong with that? What intolerance? This is a dictatorship and not a democracy.”

“We shall assist this individual to fight this assault on his right to the highest court in the land. I am shocked that this is happening under the watch of Dr. Fayemi.”

“He should realise that although he is in power today, he will not be there tomorrow. I am really peeved. You are sacking a guy for identifying with Tinubu? It is a shock and I just couldn’t understand why you and our party in the state should go this low.”

For those who don’t know, the APC in Ado Local Government last week summoned the ward chairman to appear before a disciplinary committee set up to investigate allegation of anti-party activities levelled against him.

Afolabi was accused of blackmailing the Governor Kayode Fayemi administration and declaring himself as the coordinator of an unauthorised group within the party.
