Fayemi: Ekiti APC Governorship Primaries, A Show Of Shame

The Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has described as a show of shame the attack on delegates by gun wielding thugs at the governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State.

Fayemi, also an aspirant, spoke against the backdrop of the scuttling of the primaries midway by those he described as having seen the writing clearly that they were going to lose the election.

Speaking with newsmen after the scuttled primary, the former governor said: “It was a real show of shame.

“It was a very sad day for democracy and for us in the APC.

“It was not unexpected though.

“We received intelligence of coordinated attempts to disrupt it.

“Some knew it was not going to go their way.

“Only five LGs covered before they moved in to disrupt it.

“If not that you are working ultimately against the interest of our party in the state, you should not have gone that way.

“It did not just start anyway.
