Fayose Tackles Oyo APC Over Comment

Ekiti State governor-elect, Mr Ayo Fayose, has advised the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop blaming its failure on imaginary forces but accept the reality of its rejection by the people of the South-West geo-political zone. Fayose was reacting to a statement by the Oyo State chapter of the APC, warning him to steer clear of the state. This followed the reaction of Oyo APC to the sensitisation rally held in Ibadan last Thursday by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) where Fayose was among the lead speakers. In a statement by his chief press secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti yesterday, Fayose wondered when the APC became the agency that was monitoring how Nigerians move around the country and where they could go at any point in time. He said, “The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria guarantees freedom of association and movement among many freedoms enshrined in it. It is in exercise of the freedom that people came together to form the PDP and which people also freely joined.”
