APC youths query Ojudu, Omirin over Fayose’s impeachment, election funds

Youths in the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Ekiti State, under the aegis of Ekiti
APC Youths Congress (EAYC) have
demanded explanations from the Senator
representing Ekiti Central, Babafemi Ojudu
and embattled Speaker of the State House of
Assembly, Dr Adewale Omirin over
the whereabouts of the N250 million
allegedly collected for the impeachment of
Governor Ayodele Fayose and his deputy, Dr
Olusola Eleka and another N200 million
allegedly released for the April 11 House of
Assembly election.

The youths accused Ojudu of polarising the
party in the State by sponsoring another
dissident group within the party called APC
Action Group.

The APC youths in a press statement issued
on Wednesday and jointly signed by Mr Tope
Ogunkuade and Comrade Tunji Adeleye,
Convener and Secretary respectively, blamed
the activities of Ojudu and Omirin for the
party’s woeful performance in the April 11
House of Assembly election.

“By running after Governor Fayose with
impeachment despite that the people were
openly against it, they created public
sympathy for Fayose and hatred for the APC.
“The truth is that Ojudu and Omirin’s
desperate ambition to be Governor and
Acting Governor respectively made our party
to lose the House of Assembly election
woefully and we wish to warn the duo
of Ojudu and Omirin to stop trading with our
party,” EAYC said.

Said the youths; “We read it online that N250
million was collected by Ojudu for the
Fayose’s impeachment project and we can’t
doubt this because we know how much he
(Ojudu) made from Fayose’s impeachment
in 2006.

“It was from the proceeds of Fayose’s
impeachment project in 2006 and Dr Kayode
Fayemi’s rerun election of 2009 that Ojudu
built his house in Ado-Ekiti.
