The warning came on the heels of reports that Fayose had allegedly concluded plans to dump PDP to join APC. Fayose gave a hint of his plans few days ago when he expressed displeasure at the just-concluded governorship primaries of PDP, threatening to dump the party for another party.
But the Publicity Secretary of the APC in the state, Comrade Ade Ajayi, has advised the outgoing governor to conclude his court cases bordering on sundry alleged crimes before contemplating to join APC.
He said: “We want to prove to the world that APC will not provide sanctuary for criminal suspects, political prostitutes and lepers.
We will never admit such character to this party and we advise Fayose to play his politics of destruction somewhere else.
“Fayose’s criminal prosecution on 2005 poultry project fraud resumes on November 4, 2018. Fayose cannot turn Ekiti APC to a haven and sanctuary for criminal suspects and we advise him to forget any plan to smear Ekiti APC with criminal records.”
In a statement, Omotoso told Fayose that APC “is a political party bounded by common ideals of integrity, openness, discipline and commitment to common goal of progressive governance, which Fayose does not possess or believe as can be seen from his style of politics and governance”. He added:
“Fayose over the years abused, disrepected and openly denigrated President Muhammadu Buhari, the leader of our party who is also the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
“Fayose is coming to destroy our party and ensure President Buhari does not get a second term in 2019 and we wont allow Fayose’s evil plan to materialise”. Omotoso vowed that on no account would Fayose be admitted into the APC.
He advised Fayose to look elsewhere for a political party that he will destroy after destroying three national political parties when he found it difficult to control the parties.
“Fayose said many times that he would destroy APC. He destroyed Labour Party (LP), All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) People’s Progressive Alliance (PPA) and at a time he also destroyed PDP before his current activities that led to the present sorry state of PDP in Ekiti State.
“APC is looking for builders and not destroyers in its fold. We will not accept this destroyer in our great party APC and we advise Fayose to look elsewhere towards his promoters outside the state so that he can destroy the cohesion of the party in the backyards of those promoters,” Omotoso said.
He warned all ward chairmen where Fayose lives and runs his businesses against accepting him to the party.
He added: “Our party is not a sanctuary for criminal suspects, political lepers and serial destroyers of the parties they once belonged.
“We hereby warn ward chairmen where Fayose lives or runs his business against admitting him to our great party. “We hereby state clearly that no ward chairman must open talks with Fayose until such ward chairman clears with the party leadership at the state level.”
Meanwhile, Governor Fayose, have reacted to the statement saying that he won’t leave the PDP for the APC, advising the ruling party to bury the notion.
He stated this while reacting to a statement by the Ekiti chairman of APC, Paul Omotoso, who said Fayose was not wanted in the party.
His words “APC my foot! I will never have anything to do with APC. “For the party’s leaders to be saying that Fayose is coming to APC amounts to unnecessary dissipation of energy. “I will never, ever, go to APC and will never ever have anything to do with the party,” he vowed.
