Ekiti state governor, Kayode Fayemi has urged Nigerians to disregard allegation of the former National Chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC) Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
According to Fayemi, Adams is still experiencing a post traumatic stress disorder on account of his removal as Chairman of APC.
It would be recalled that Adams had alleged that Fayemi asked him to rig election for him when he served as a national chairman.
But in a response, the governor said the allegation, which was made on a national television, is not only false, puerile and laughable, it is a figment of the imagination of the former APC chairman.
Fayemi’s position was contained in a statement made available to Naija Gatekeeper News by his Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode.

Part of the statement reads below:
” Governor Fayemi has never asked Oshiomhole to rig any election for him or any other person and never had any reason to ask for such.”
“Members of the public are therefore urged to disregard the allegations by Comrade Oshiomhole, who apparently is still experiencing a post traumatic stress disorder on account of his removal as Chairman of APC.”
“It is on record, Dr Fayemi was not responsible for Comrade Oshiomhole’s removal as Chairman of the APC. He has his ward executives and the courts to blame for that.”
“The Ekiti State Governor has always considered Comrade Oshiomhole a friend and political associate even if they had fundamental differences over his kangaroo approach of disqualifying Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, from the APC primaries and his unconscionable autocratic management of party affairs whilst he was chairman of the party.”
“For avoidance of doubt, Governor Fayemi has no reason to approach Comrade Oshiomhole for favours for any election. Governor Fayemi has a stellar track record of being a consummate democrat even in difficult times.
Many Nigerians can easily recall his historic concession speech in 2014 in an election that was clearly lost to electoral sleight of hand at the behest of the then People’s democratic Party (PDP) –led Federal Government.”
” We challenge Mr Oshiomhole to provide the public with independently verifiable evidence of his unsubstantiated claims, if true.”
