The governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has described as a joke taken too far, his suspension by a faction of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti State.
Fayemi’s reaction is contained in a statement issued on Friday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Yinka Oyebode.
The governor was announced to have been suspended followed alleged anti-party activities.
In his reaction, Fayemi described those who suspended him as belonging to an unknown group.
He said no member of the APC could hide under any guise to announce his “dubious suspension”.
“While one would have dismissed their claims as another failed attempt to polarise the party in the state, it is also important to put it on record that the action of the group smacks of criminal impersonation as none of those who signed the purported suspension letter were executive members of the party at ward, local government or state level.
“The action is but a joke taken too far as they never had such power they want to arrogate to themselves while they were members of the party, much less now that they have been suspended,” the statement reads in part.
Fayemi said he remained unperturbed by the antics of suspended members.
“Well meaning members of the public as well as members of APC are urged to disregard the news of the purported suspension as it only exists in the imagination of members of the group,” he said stressing that he remained the indisputable leader of the APC in the state.
