Again Fayemi, Ojudu Clash Over Performance In Ekiti
No governance in Ekiti – Ojudu ,
The Special Adviser to President Mohammadu Buhari on Political Affairs, Senator Babafemi Ojudu has renewed his fight with the Ekiti State governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi over the performance of the All Progressives Congress(APC) led government in the state.
The Senator who represented Ekiti Central in seventh Senate , stated this during a telephone chat with journalists.
The ex Senator,with other aggrieved leaders of APC , are currently challenging the legal validity of the Paul Omotosho
led State Executive Council of the APC in Ekiti
In his latest outburst, Ojudu rated Fayemi low in terms of performance claiming that even states contending with security challenges fair better than Ekiti .
But Fayemi, in a swift reaction described Ojudu as a stranger who hardly visit Ekiti and could not have seen anything .
The governor who spoke through his Special Assistant on Media and Public Communication, Segun Dipe, said that contrary to what the senator said, there was governance in the state.
“Ojudu is sounding like people are claiming he is. He is guilty of what people is accusing people of. We believe his appointment can’t be divorced from being an Ekiti man. Yes, Senator Ojudu doesn’t come home and doesn’t recognize Ekiti at the moment.
“What you don’t understand you will always see fault in it. For now, he is excused from seeing the negative side because he is already a stranger and alien to the people and the party.
“What you don’t understand you will always see fault in it. For now, he is excused from seeing the negative side because he is already a stranger and alien to the people and the party.
"He is practising deliberate amnesia. He chooses to forget what he want to forget and remember what he want to remember. In the long run, there is governance and there is APC in Ekiti State.”
But the President’s aide also accused the governor of running the state and the party, like a one man show and a puppeteer.
“where is the focus on the people now ? Is it roads the government is constructing ? Is it providing employment ? Is it providing foods ? Where is the governance ? I want you to do a search on google and tell me where the projects are.
On the allegation of running the party like a one man show, the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, said that the Governor has not called any meeting of party leaders or caucus meeting since he was sworn in almost two years on.
“They have not call any meeting of leaders of the party. No meeting, no caucus, I don’t know how one man can run a show of the party . He is a puppeteer. He beats the drum and others just dance to it.
“Most of us have been observers; ex-senators, ex-House of Representatives members, ex-speaker of the House of Assembly, ex-members of the House of Assembly, leaders of repute. Nobody has been asked to come for any meeting.”.
