An Ekiti State governorship aspirant under the umbrella of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, has laid into his opponent in the race for the party’s ticket, Mr. Kayode Fayemi, blaming the Mines and Steel Development minister for the trouble that erupted during the party’s primary.
Ojudu who addressed newsmen on Sunday on the suspended primary said he had known Fayemi to lust after power adding that on Saturday the minister’s desperation for high office reached new level.
He said, “I don’t like thugs, I don’t have them around me. It is Fayemi who is getting desperate. Do you camp people if you are not desperate. There is a video of who disrupted the primary, the police should arrest and prosecute him.
“They said I was desperate, but let us ask ourselves; who among the aspirants took delegates to Igbara Oke and Owo in Ondo State to camp them? It was Fayemi. He was the one who compromised the committee and bought over security agencies to compromise the process.
“I brought him to Ekiti, I did a lot for him to be governor, so I know him to be desperate and we were getting video clips about how he offered bribes to delegates and how he was making calls at the election venue to top security brass in Ekiti and Abuja to cheat the system.
“Let me tell him, all these antics will not work. The primary will be conducted and it must be free, fair and credible.”
