Fayose Trolls APC About The PDP Outcome In Ekiti

Following a successful conduct of governorship primary by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Gov. Ayo Fayose has suggested that the All Progressives Congress (APC) hire Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa to help them conduct theirs.

The Delta State governor is the Chairman of the Ekiti PDP Governorship Primary Electoral Committee which produced Fayose’s anointed candidate, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, as the party’s flag bearer for the July 14 governorship election in the state.

APC on the other hand suspended its own primaries after the process was marred by violence at the weekend with no candidate emerging a clear winner.

Fayose, who was invited by Okowa to make his speech after the PDP primary taunted the APC by suggesting that the Delta governor be allowed to conduct primary of the main opposition party.

Fayose said: “I want to recommend you (Okowa) to the APC to conduct a credible primary because the APC cannot conduct congresses, they beat people and machete people.

“We will keep you (Okowa) here till Friday when the APC said they will have their primary, otherwise, they will not have a candidate. Those of you who want us to keep Governor Okowa here should say aye.”

But Okowa rejected the offer: “I have declined Governor Fayose’s request to conduct the APC primary, I am not their member, I am going back home because the people of Delta State need me.”
