.... Warned Yoruba Leaders Against Lose Presidential Ticket To Another Regions
As the Ekiti state Governorship election draws ever nearer, the family of the former National Leader of Afenifere and Ekiti born politician, the late Sen. Ayo Fasanmi, has urged the people of Ekiti State not to deviate from the line of "Progressive governance " which harks back to the halcyon days of the Action Group, and allow continuity of dynamic good governance which the people are currently enjoying since the second coming of the Dr Kayode Fayemi administration.
In a statement released to the press through the long time media assistant of the late Sen Ayo Fasanmi, Mr. Adebayo Temitope, and made available to the media in Ado Ekiti, Mr. Temitope also commended the party's choice of Hon Biodun Oyebanji as flag bearer in the forthcoming elections.
"Unequivocally it is the right decision and auspicious. Hon Biodun Oyebanji, as a progressive man to the core has never for once deviated since he joined the progressive family." Temitope pointed out. "His stint as a former lecturer in the state University was exemplary, Oyebanji was also one of the cabinet members during the first civilian administration of Otunba Niyi Adebayo; and his sterling experience during both the first time and second time of Gov Kayode Fayemi leadership will make the job easier for him in as much he is given an opportunity to serve his people in Ekiti state."
The Fasanmi family lauded his contribution towards the creation of Ekiti State which would always remain fresh in the minds of like-minded people of Ekiti. "Indeed the spirit of late national Leader (Pa Fasanmi) would have been suffused with joy to see Ekiti state being governed and led by the All Progressive Congress. We now appeal to the remaining Yoruba Leaders who are the real, authentic Afenifere to come to the Yorubas aid and rescue the Yoruba from, inexperienced, and self-serving politicians who should desist from any malevolent agenda that can make Yoruba lose the ticket of the presidency which is already zoned to the South."
Adebayo Temitope added that the Yoruba must speak in one voice and present "an eminently acceptable candidate who will be gleefully accepted by Nigerians and be experienced in proficient, good governance. The Yoruba must not experience again the horrors of the feud between the Awolowo and Akintola camps of yore,"
"The Yoruba group or leaders who are advocating for other regions to take over from Buhari are grandstanding and constituting themselves to be enemies of Yoruba."
Meanwhile he lavished praises on Gov Kayode Fayemi "for his service to humanity and his emergence as a true national leader with awesome credentials". He again wished Biodun Oyebanji a successful election. "The good people of Ekiti must forge ahead with purpose, vision, resilience and awareness, and of course allow peace to reign during and after the elections." Temitope concluded
