The Ward Exco of Dr Wale Omirin, former Soeaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly today rose from an emergency meeting and rejected a prodding by Ekiti Governor Dr Kayode Fayemi to suspend him from the party .
A release signed by the Chairman of Ekiti APC Stakeholders Forum, Prince Bamgboye Adegoroye said
According Prince Bamgboye the Chairman of the Ward in Aisegba Ekiti ,other members of the Exco and leaders unanimously decided that Omirin has never been found wanting in the affairs of the party in the Ward and in the state and therefor did not merit being suspended.
Omirin is one of the leaders of the party across the State who are demanding the respect of the party’s constitution regarding the setting up of executives from Ward to State level.
All the leading lights of the Ekiti APC Stakeholders Forum, a caucus of the party have been ordered suspended by the State Governor Dr Kayode Fayemi.
Many of the wards have however refused to carry out the instruction in spite of being induced or threatened.
Last week three members of Dr Wole Oluyede’s Ward in Ikere we’re arrested and detained after coming up with a communique denouncing the governor’s demand that they suspend Oluyede. They have since been released following strong protest to the police authorities by members of the Stakeholders Forum.
Dr Omirin was an ally of Dr Fayemi during his first coming as Governor. He was Speaker of the state’s house of Assembly and one of the major contributors to making him governor. Fayemi didn’t however forgive him for supporting Chief Segun Oni during the last primary election in Ekiti State
Omirin yesterday told our reporters that no intimidation by the governor will make him change his view about him and the government . He said he remains a staunch member of the party and remains loyal to the President, the Vice President as well as the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
