President Buhari’s Special Adviser on Political Affairs, Senator Babafemi Ojudu has accused Kayode Fayemi, the Governor of Ekiti State of running the affairs of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state alone and performing below expectation.
Mr Ojudu said according to the Nation that there were no better indications of Fayemi’s monumental failure than the moribund educational system, comatose health, deplorable roads across the state.
“Where is the focus on the people now? Is it roads the government is constructing? Is it providing employment? Is it providing foods? Where is the governance? I want you to do a search on google and tell me where the projects are.
He alleged that Mr Fayemi has not carried members of the party along in governance and that aggrieved members were planning to leave the party.
“Some of us outraged have taken a step different from ours and left the party but someone like me and a few other patriots can’t do that because we can’t abandon the house we built.
“Nobody can chase us away from the APC or from the progressives’ community. Rather it is we who will chase those among us whose temperament is not progressive to where we belong.
“They have not called any meeting of leaders of the party. No meeting, no caucus, I don’t know how one man can run a show of the party. He is a puppeteer. He beats the drum and others dance to it,” Senator Ojudu said.
However, in defence of the governor, Mr Fayemi‘s Special Assistant on Media and Public Communication, Segun Dipe, said the Senator was unaware of happenings in the state.
“Ojudu is sounding like people are claiming he is. We believe his appointment can’t be divorced from being an Ekiti man. Yes, Senator Ojudu doesn’t come home and doesn’t recognize Ekiti at the moment.
“What you don’t understand you will always see fault in it. For now, he is excused from seeing the negative side because he is already a stranger and alien to the people and the party,” Dipe said.
There has been no love lost between the two chieftains of the APC in Ekiti since the Ojudu lost the APC governorship ticket to Fayemi in 2018.
