APC Nullifies Suspension of Fayemi, Tinubu’s Men as Crisis Worsen

The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress has nullified the suspension of Ekiti state Governor, Kayode Fayemi by a faction of the party in the state loyal to former Governor of Lagos state, Bola Tinubu.

In a statement on Friday by the acting national secretary of the party, Yekini Nabena, also nullified the earlier suspension slammed on loyalists of Tinubu by the party 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, H.E. Kayode Fayemi, as well as an earlier, reported, “indefinite suspension” of some other party 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 “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 the President’s admonition to party members to ensure and support the ongoingly amicable and rancour-free settlement 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 factions or divisions exist in the State Chapter.”
