A prominent member of the Congress of All Progressive (APC) in the state of Ekiti and former Ikere Regional Government Chair, Femi Ayodele, has increased concerns over what he described as “the takeover of creeping” from the government of Governor Biood Oyebbanji by former Governor Ayodele Fayose and Heryalis Loyalists.
In a very strong statement released on Thursday, Ayodele accused that more than 170 people who were loyal to the former Democratic Party Governor (PDP) former Democratic People had been appointed an important role under the government led by APC-APC Apc Core Loyalist who struggled to overcome the party’s victory.
“As in the last calculation, regardless of the protection he enjoyed from the current government, Fayose has more than 170 people appointed in the current APC government while many party members who work hard at day and night for the success of the current government suffer from negligence. Is that fair? So what is talked about by Jide who is amazed?”
Ayodele reacted to recent comments by Jide Awe, a former APC State chairman, who defended Oyebbanji’s inclusive political style and rejected the worries filed by the former Governor of Kayode Fayemi about the entry of PDP members into APC. Fayemi has warned that the party became the “all migrant” platform, open to infiltration by opposition forces.
However, Ayodele described Awe’s criticism of Fayemi as a hypocrite and selfish.
“Why is the PDP led by the former Governor Ayo Fayose, who destroyed their own party and left it with chaos, attack and tried to take over and damage the APC and expect leaders like Fayemi to remain silent? Fayemi must be praised for speaking in the minds of thousands of APC members who were revoked.

He further accused admiration for political amnesia, remembering that Fayose had sent him to exile.
“Fayose is the Governor between 2014 and 2018 and the same Jide Awe sent to exile for three years, Fayemi is prohibited by Fayose from holding the office for 10 years until the court canceled it, APC House of Assembly members were expelled outside the city, other APC members were tortured and harassed – but today, Fayose had more than 170 appointed people.
Ayodele insisted that it was not Fayose, but Fayemi’s political structure, which gave the 2022 Governor’s victory to Oyebbanji, on the grounds that the APC loyalist who won the party’s victory was now ignored for “Political Interlopers.”
Fayemi runs an inclusive government by accommodating opposition members between 2018 and 2022, but he did not ignore his APC members by appointing PDP members into his cabinet and other sensitive positions, but he produced Oyebbanji. So why is there nothing that cannot be seen above, there is nothing that is not above and there is nothing that cannot be produced above and nothing cannot be produced by people who cannot be produced in PDP and there is no one that can be produced by no one who cannot be produced by people who cannot be produced twice, cannot be produced by people who are no exception, There is. That?”
Refusing the justification that “politics is a number game,” Ayodele criticized the use of inclusivity as a cover for buyers who gave awards for Loyal APC members.
The philosophy of ‘Iru Wa, Ogiri Wa’ is not a reason to get rid of the original party members and allow foreigners and political almajiris to take over our party. Biodun Oyebbanji won his election with a landslide in 2022 with a strong engine from Fayemi, against Fayose candidates, who are now calling shots at APC. “
He also questioned Fayose’s sudden hospitality with the government led by APC, calling it politically opportunistic.
“Will Fayose have beaten by Oyebbanji if the PDP is in power? The answer is not. Will he berate him if Oyebbanji is not a governor? No.”
The Ayodele explosion adds fuel to foster intra-party tensions in Ekiti APC, with old members increasingly expressing frustration of what they see as marginalization of their efforts for political turncoat.
