The All Progressives Congress,
APC, has said that it will oppose the choice of Governor Ayodele Fayose of
Ekiti State as deputy chairman of the Governors’ Forum.
A source close to an APC
governor in ONE of the North Central States said the choice of Fayose by the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was ill considered and unacceptable to the
party.
The source said the APC was
wary of the controversial governor and would not accept Fayose for such a
sensitive position, asking the PDP to find a suitable replacement.
“I wonder why the PDP thinks
the Ekiti State governor should be the choice for the deputy chairman of the
forum when they could not accept him as the chairman of their PDP Governors’
Forum. The choice is unacceptable to us and we would oppose it when we meet on
Wednesday,” the source confided.
He went on to say that Fayose
has remained a divisive factor during the electioneering campaigns and has
remained so after the polls and it would be an ill-informed decision to have
him occupy such a position.
According to him, the APC was
not averse to the PDP fielding a level headed governor to deputise for the
chairman of the forum, but “certainly not Governor Fayose that is given to
reckless and inciting statements and actions.”
Fayose was at the center of the
anti-Buhari campaign during the electioneering process and once alleged that
the then presidential candidate of the APC wears pampers like his aged mother.
The Governors’ Forum is
scheduled to meet tomorrow to adopt deputy chairman among other things.
