The Youth Wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has condemned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the state-owned broadcasting station over alleged attempts to blackmail former Governor Kayode Fayemi.
The APC youths also disowned what it called a “phantom youth group” that goes by the name of “Ekiti APC Youths Congress”, which purportedly issued a statement condemning Fayemi for allegedly abandoning the state chapter for the presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
The purported youth group had in that statement counseled Fayemi to stay at home as Governor Ayo Fayose is doing in PDP.
But APC said it discovered fraud and deceit in the message, maintaining that no youth group would issue a statement on behalf of the party without recourse to the state youth leader.
In a statement yesterday by the state APC Youth Leader, Femi Ogundare, the Wing said “APC has no members bearing Tope Ogukunade and Comrade Tunji Adeleye who signed the purported statement.
Ogundare said: “We want to make it clear that there is no group by that name in APC Ekiti State, rather, it is a creation of Mr. Fayose through his equally loquacious aide, Lere Olayinka.
“We have discipline and structure in our party that does not allow anybody or group to issue statements on behalf of the party.”
