One of the loyalists of the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, Dare Oguntuase, has described the people from Ekiti State that were appointed into federal as “The Ekiti List Of Shame.”
Oguntuase, who is one of the Social Media aides of Senator Ojudu said, “The list earlier compiled and worked upon by a Committee of zonal Vice Chairmen of the party in which Chief Pius Akinyelure represented
the South West, was doctored by the Minister for Steel and Minerals
Resources Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

Oguntuase, who took to the social media to condemn the
appointments said that the earlier list was fair to everyone and every community and grouping in the APC in Ekiti State.
He said prominent people such as Alhaji Gani Owolabi, Chief Okusanya, Chief Bisi Egbeyemi, Prof. Oluwasanmi, Mrs Bunmi Dipo Salami, Princess Omotunde Adelabu, Omotunde Fajuyi, Dr Orire, Karunwi, Chief Jide Awe, Chief Taiwo Olatunbosun, Chief Muyiwa
Olumilua and many others were on the list.
Oguntuase further stated that it was when a Committee of
Governors and Ministers was asked to vet the list that Fayemi went behind and doctored the list to include his senior sister, Mrs Oloro, his domestic assistance, Mr Kunle Dada, his friend, Ade Eniola Ajayi, who has already been made an Ambassador and many others.
In the board appointments released by the Presidency on Friday, none
of the loyalists of Special Adviser to the Senator Ojudu was among the 24 people appointed in Ekiti State.

Out of the 24 people appointed in Ekiti, 18 are from the camp of the Minister for Steel and Minerals Resources Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, while the camp of the APC Deputy National Chairman (South),
Chief Segun Oni, and the entire defectors from the PDP got four. The remaining two went to former Governor Niyi Adebayo and Hon Opeyemi
