Gbenga Ariyibi Ado Ekiti
Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi has
cautioned the senate President, Chief David Mark
to stop playing politics with the issue of 11
defecting members of senate, saying the senators
are free to join the party of their choice.
The senate president is yet to read the letter of
former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators
who defected to All Progressive Congress
Fayemi made the statement in reaction to the
brouhaha dogging the defection of Senator Bukola
Saraki and other ten Peoples Democratic Party
senators on Thursday at his country home, Isan
Ekiti in Oye Local Government while participating
in the ongoing APC nationwide membership
registration exercise.
He posited that the cries over alleged withholding
of letters of some defecting Senators by Senator
Mark is immaterial, saying the issue is a
constitutional matter , “which cannot be
personalized by anybody”.
“Senator Mark should believe that the defection of
these 11 Senators from PDP to APC is a
statement of fact. You can’t abort a baby that had
already been born.
“Whether the senate President in his wisdom
chose to accept or reject the letter , is immaterial
as far as this is concerned because they have
started attending APC meeting. Some of them have
even registered as APC ,members in this ongoing
exercise.
“What we are witnessing in the polity is a
revolutionary process . Many have defected from
other parties into APC and some are still
defecting. You will still witness more high profile
defections , even in this State , but I won’t share it
with you now”.
He commended members of his party for turning
out in large number, saying “the reports we are
getting from all the 16 Local Governments is
encouraging. The mobilization drive is high and it
has been yielding results”.
The governor called on APC members to continue
to defend the integrity of the party and be vigila
