While reacting to the fake story making rounds about APC dissociating “themselves from the purported APC Stakeholders meeting being called by former Governor of the State, Dr John Kayode Fayemi…” State Publicity Secretary of the Party, Segun Dipe, said it’s only in the imagination of the rumour mongers that such was happening.
The APC Spokesperson wondered where the conjurors of the story had picked their so called “notable stakeholders” and said no responsible or reliable stakeholder in the party would have fabricated such lie.
According to him, “we are not perturbed, we are now in a season of propaganda, characterised by spewing of lies and telling half truth to confuse the people. Any busybody who yearns to know what is happening in our party is free to contact me as the spokesperson of the party and they would be reliably informed, rather than looking for gutter gists.
We know that we are the only formidable political party in our State and the country as of today, so people would be looking for ways to crack us up, so they can enter and cause confusion. We are also not unmindful of the enemies within who are looking for opportunities to create and feast on crisis. We call them crisis merchants, but they won’t succeed by an inch.
According to the poorly woven story being circulated, “sources close to the State Govt as well as APC leadership in Ekiti disclosed that both the Governor and party leaders are totally opposed to the planned meeting, which they insist Fayemi is calling to send a signal to his African Democratic Congresd (ADC) cohorts that he is on ground.” (sic).
We wonder how such would happen in our party that is strong on ground and focused on winning the coming gubernatural election, thus breaking the record of producing a governor that will run two terms back to back in the state. Anything to the contrary is not emanating from within our party but being manufactured by some external forces.
One good turn deserves another. Being the incumbent, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji has impressed both the party and the electorates enough to deserve a second term.
This is the position of all stakeholders in our party, ex-Gov Fayemi inclusive. And if there is any meeting of party faithfuls he, Fayemi, is calling, it is towards realisation of this our objective. Nothing more.
On whether Dr. Fayemi could have called a meeting of any stakeholder for any purpose, Dipe said, “Why not? He is a strong pillar of our party in Ekiti State and he will not allow the house he laboured so much to build to collapse. All his intentions are geared towards giving our party a good footing in the state.”
Asked if the party in the state was behind the ongoing endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Oyebanji by various groups in the state, Dipe answered: “We might not be, but we have no reason to discourage it, in the interest of consolidating our hold on governance. We are not gamblers, we are a focused party.”
The spokesperson then warn those dishing out lies and half truth about the activities of the party in the state to desist from doing so in their own interest.
In his words, busy bodies and meddlesome interlopers can’t sway our Party, APC, from the direction it has faced in ensuring that we win back to back both the governorship and presidential election underway. We are not worried about what other lesser parties are doing, rather, we are focused on what we are doing to avoid any form of derailment, Dipe said.
