The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has dismissed as “sheer recklessness” and “mindless propaganda” reports alleging that Governor Biodun Oyebanji and former Governor Kayode Fayemi are planning to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement issued on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti, Segun Dipe, the party’s publicity secretary, emphasized that both Governor Oyebanji and Fayemi are “reliable leaders” of the APC and have no intention of leaving the party.
Dipe highlighted their instrumental roles in building the APC in Ekiti State, noting their significant investment of time, energy, and resources into the party.

He said, “These are our two leaders with no history of disloyalty to the ruling party. They are not turncoats in our party. For anyone to cook up such a lie that they are porting to another party is playing dirty politics and reckless propaganda, which should not be taken seriously by anyone.”
“Along with the first executive Governor of Ekiti State, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, the trio is consolidating our party in the State, and anyone not queuing behind them is not known to the Party.
“Are we thinking of APC in Ekiti without an Otunba, a JKF or a BAO? Not at all. Could we have maintained our stronghold of APC being the living and the ruling party in Ekiti State without the trio of Adebayo, Fayemi and Oyebanji? I doubt it.
“How reasonable is it for anyone to think that Fayemi, as the master builder of the house, would abandon it for a rented apartment, or Oyebanji, as the Number One dweller in the house, would go seeking refuge elsewhere?
“This is thoughtless and mindless of the rumour mongers, whose intentions are still unknown to us”, Dipe said.
Dipe, therefore, urged the public to disregard the false reports and instead focus on the development of the state.
