A source
close to an APC governor in one of the North Central States said the choice of
Fayose by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was ill considered and
unacceptable to the party.
The All
Progressives Congress, APC, has said that it will oppose the choice of Governor
Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State as deputy chairman of the Governors’ Forum.
The source
said the APC was wary of the controversial governor and would not accept Fayose
for such a sensitive position, asking the PDP to find a suitable replacement.
“I wonder why
the PDP thinks the Ekiti State governor should be the choice for the deputy
chairman of the forum when they could not accept him as the chairman of their
PDP Governors’ Forum. The choice is unacceptable to us and we would oppose it
when we meet on Wednesday,” the source confided.
He went on to
say that Fayose has remained a divisive factor during the electioneering
campaigns and has remained so after the polls and it would be an ill-informed
decision to have him occupy such a position.
According to
him, the APC was not averse to the PDP fielding a level headed governor to
deputise for the chairman of the forum, but “certainly not Governor Fayose that
is given to reckless and inciting statements and actions.”
Fayose was at
the center of the anti-Buhari campaign during the electioneering process and
once alleged that the then presidential candidate of the APC wears pampers like
his aged mother.
The
Governors’ Forum is scheduled to meet tomorrow to adopt deputy chairman among
other things.
Why would anyone nominate an ekiti thug though.
