The Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has admonished a former governor of the state and Peoples Democratic Party stalwart, Ayodele Fayose, to stop nursing the thought of joining the party.
Speaking in Ado Ekiti, the state capital on Thursday The State Publicity Secretary of the party, Ade Ajayi, said Fayose antecedents precedes and a character like him can’t be welcomed to the party.
This was contained in a statement he signed. Ajayi described the APC as “a disciplined, refined and integrity-inclined type which would not tolerate people like Fayose,” adding that “Fayose is not qualified to be a member of the APC in the state.”
The party, which was reacting to a statement allegedly credited to Fayose to the effect that he would defect to the APC if his ordained Peoples Democratic Party state chairmanship aspirant failed in his bid for the job.
To this, Ajayi said, “We will not welcome him to the great and decent family in the state.
“It is better he stays back in his PDP to get it more destroyed instead of coming to a principled, disciplined, transparent, law-abiding and organised party like the APC.
“The Ekiti APC members know the people behind the masquerade and thereby warn people like Fayose not to turn the APC to a dumping ground where they can defect to.”
