Fayemi a disappointment — PDP dep gov’ship candidate

The deputy governorship candidate of the PDP in Ekiti State, Alhaji Kazeem Deji Ogunsakin, has said that the candidate of the APC in the state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has disappointed many stakeholders the state.

Ogunsakin, in a statement, described the decision of Dr. Fayemi to clinch the ticket of the APC at all costs as a disgrace to the people of Ekiti South who were the only ones that had not produced a governor in the history of the state.

He explained that the current trend of in generational shift in leadership from the aged to the youth was also breached by the APC candidate and his party, adding that the APC also sidelined the vast Muslim community in the state.

According to Ogunsakin, “the people of Ekiti are watching with keen interest how the APC and its candidate have been working at crossroads with the desire of majority of stakeholders in the state.

“While all have been calling for equity based on the fact that both the north and central senatorial districts have had various shots at the governorship of the state, leaving the south in the cold; is it a bad idea to allow that district to have a sense of belonging by having a shot at it now? Fayemi and his APC have scuttled that agitation,” he said.

“You will also observe that while the PDP has adopted a Christian/ Muslim ticket, the APC looked the other way. Are we saying that Muslims are not stakeholders in this project? Are we saying they don’t have any capable Muslim person in their party? He who comes to justice must come with equity. Even when Engineer Segun Oni, who is now with them got the PDP ticket, he went for a Muslim running mate,” he said.
