The Ekiti
state governor, Ayo Fayose, has reacted to reports quoting him as saying he
would dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
His
spokesman, Lere Olayinka, said the governor did not and will never make such
statement.
A press
release he signed on Saturday reads: “Kindly disregard statement being
circulated by members of the APC in Ekiti State that Governor Ayodele Fayose
said “If defecting to APC will solve Ekiti problems, he will join APC and
nobody can stop him.”
“The
statement was part of the many lies being circulated by the Ekiti APC and its
unsellable governorship candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, obviously to suppress
reports of his rejection by Ekiti people.
“Even when
APC was still basking in the euphoria of its electoral success of 2015,
Governor Fayose made it abundantly clear then that he will never have anything
to do with the party, not to talk about now that the party is nearing its
political grave.
“As we
approach the July 14 governorship election, it is expected that several lies
will be told by the APC and its sinking candidate to confuse the unsuspecting
members of the public.
“Therefore,
members of the public are urged to disregard any statement not attributed to me
or the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Idowu Adelusi.
“Most
importantly, Governor Fayose’s comments on issues (both national and State) are
always on his Twitter Handle @GovAyoFayose.
“Any
statement credited to Governor Fayose and cannot be found either on his Twitter
Handle or my Facebook Timelines and Twitter Handle should be DISREGARDED.”
