Some youths in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, on the platform of Ekiti APC Youths Congress (EAYC), have described the food items distributed as Covid-19 relief package by the Senator
representing Ekiti South Senatorial district, Biodun Olujimi, as Greek gift.
The APC youths said though the Covid-19 pandemic was beyond partisanship, Olujimi could not be said to have in good conscience, taken food items to APC secretariats in Ekiti South
without first distributing relief package to members of her own party,
PDP.
The group further asked: “Does she now love members of our party [APC] more than her own party members?”
In statement by the youths and jointly signed by Mr. Tope Ogunkuade and Comrade Tunji Adeleye, EAYC convener and secretary, respectively, some leaders of the APC in the state, especially Governor Kayode Fayemi, will one day explain to the party members, especially those in Ekiti South how they traded Prince Adeyeye’s mandate, sold it to Senator Olujimi and are now celebrating
peanuts from her as relief package.
The group said that it was an insult for someone who used her manipulative ways to snatch the Ekiti South Senatorial seat from the party’s original winner, Prince Adedayo Adeyeye, to now turn around and be dropping
food items at APC secretariats for distribution to party members.
The youths urged loyal members of the APC in Ekiti South to reject the food items brought to the party secretariats across the six local
governments, noting that Prince Adeyeye would have gone beyond the miserable food items Senator Olujimi brought as Covid-19 relief
package if he was still in the Senate.
The EAYC, which described the two APC House of Representatives members in the Ekiti South senatorial district, Yemi Aderamodu, and
Femi Bamisile as capable of assisting party members in the district, noted that Olujimi would not be allowed to undermine them as she undermined and torpedo Prince Adeyeye.
They advised Olujimi to rather declare openly for the APC and see whether the youth would accept her instead of hobnobbing with the party
leaders in the state in the night and claiming PDP membership in the day.
Describing APC as a party of disciplined members, the EAYC, which insisted that the food items must be returned, said collecting food items from Senator Olujimi would amount to spiting Prince Adeyeye.
