The All Progressives Congress (APC) has nullified the suspension of Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti state by a faction of the party in the state.
The party also noted that Architect Paul Omotosho-chaired APC Ekiti State Working Committee is the recognised executive committee in the state.
“The attention of the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a purported and widely-reported “suspension” of the Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi as well as an earlier reported “indefinite suspension” of some other party members in the state,” said a statement by Yekini Nabena, deputy national publicity secretary APC.
Fayemi remains a party leader
The APC noted that, “The actions are a nullity as the Party’s National Secretariat is yet to receive communication from the state chapter on the purported “suspensions”.
“We strongly advise all members to adhere to our party constitution. Governor Kayode Fayemi remains the leader of the party in Ekiti State.
“In line with the mandate of the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee and for the avoidance of doubt, the Architect Paul Omotosho-chaired APC Ekiti State Working Committee is the authentic, valid and duly recognised Executive as no factions or divisions exist in the State Chapter.”
