The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday nullified the suspension of the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi.
The Senator Tony Adeniyi-led faction of the APC Ekiti State chapter had on Friday suspended Fayemi for alleged anti-party activities.
But the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, APC, Yekini Nabena, in a statement, said the suspension by the Adeniyi-faction is a nullity, as according to him, the APC’s National Secretariat had yet to receive communication from the state chapter on the purported “suspension.”
He stated that Fayemi remains the leader of the party in the state, adding that the Architect Paul Omotosho-led APC Ekiti State Working Committee is the authentic, valid and duly recognised Executive in the state.
He also said there is no faction or division in the state chapter.
The statement reads: “The attention of the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress has been drawn to a purported and widely reported ‘suspension’ of the Governor of Ekiti State, H.E. Kayode Fayemi as well as an earlier reported “indefinite suspension” of some of other members in the state. The actions are a nullity as the Party’s National Secretariat is yet to receive communication from the state chapter on the purported “suspension”
“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 the President’s admonition to party members to ensure and support ongoing amicable and rancour-free settlements of internal party disputes, we call on our esteemed party members and leaders in Ekiti State to be duly guided.
“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 faction or division exist in the state chapter.”
