APC Suspends Gov Fayemi For Role In Edo Governorship Election

As a fall out from the Edo State governorship election held last week , the Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has been suspended by the State Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This was confirmed in a statement signed by seven members of the executive committee on Friday.

According to the statement, Fayemi was suspended due to “his numerous anti-party activities, especially his role in the recently concluded governorship election in Edo State which is contrary to the provisions of Article 21 (A) (ii) of the APC Constitution.”

The party claims Fayemi hosted a bigwig of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Femi Fani-Kayode, five days before the Edo Election, during which they planned a coup against Edo APC.

Another allegation leveled against Governor Fayemi, is that he played a role in the gubernatorial election in Oyo State and supported the PDP candidate to defeat the APC candidate.
