In another story, The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has chided the People’s Democratic Party for its criticism on the resolution mandating the executive to rename the Ekiti Civic Centre after Governor Kayode Fayemi.
In a release signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Elder Sam Oluwalana on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti, the ruling party described the PDP as a bunch of paranoid people who are still licking their wounds from utter rejection by the people of the state.
The Ekiti State House of Assembly had on Monday passed a motion renaming the civic centre as Kayode Fayemi Cultural Centre which was nearing completion after Governor Fayemi who they believed had done a lot to develop the state.
But the PDP, in a reaction through its Caretaker Committee Secretary, Diran Odeyemi, described the action as “petty and empty.”
Oluwalana wondered what was petty or empty in the action, describing Diran Odeyemi as a figurin in the PDP from a foreign land who knows next to nothing about the political development in Ekiti, except the lies he is being fed by the renegades of the the dying party (PDP) in the State.
“It is unfortunate that the PDP in Ekiti has become so fragmented to the extent that no qualified PDP person in Ekiti is considered fit enough in the state to direct its affairs except a complete stranger from Osun state who was selected by the national executives in far away Abuja to superintend over its affair in Ekiti. We believe that this is their cause of constantly crying wolf where there isn’t any,” Oluwalana said.
He added that unlike in the case of the former PDP governor, Ayodele Fayose, who named a market after himself, saying it was the people through their representatives who requested that the Civic Centre as a monument be named after Governor Fayemi. Secondus
Oluwalana said there is nothing strange in honouring Fayemi who had served the State meritorious through the execution of many legacy projects, noting he has etched his name on the international grid of excellence.
