PDP Youths Congress (PDPYC), has described report of Governor Kayode
Fayemi led Ekiti APC government’s food items delivered to a hotel in
Ado Ekiti owned by the Senator representing Ekiti South Senatorial
District, Biodun Olujimi, as worrisome, noting that the food items
should rather be seen as personal donation to the senator, not to the
PDP in the State.
According to its release on Thursday, by the Convener, Comrade Oluwole
Durojaiye, PDPYC, which said Fayemi only demonstrated that Senator
Olujimi was part of the APC government in the State by sending food
items to her hotel, instead of the State secretariat of the PDP in Ado
Ekiti or residence of the State Chairman of the party, challenged the
Senator to clarify her relationship with the APC government in Ekiti
State.
The statement read; last week, we read that Senator Biodun Olujimi
took food items to local government secretariats of APC in Ekiti State
as Covid-19 relief package. We also read report of rejection of these
food items by the APC youths in the State.
Today, we read again that the APC government in Ekiti State took over
2,000 packs of food items to Senator Olujimi, in her hotel in Ado
Ekiti, claiming that the food items were meant for the PDP in the
State.
First, we are yet to come to terms with the rationale behind a PDP
Senator, representing Ekiti South, taking food items to APC local
government secretariat in Ekiti North and Central senatorial
districts, which has APC senators. Did APC senators in Ekiti North and
Central also take food items to PDP local government secretariat
across the State?
Secondly, if the packs of food items reportedly brought to Senator
Olujimi’s hotel yesterday, were meant for the PDP in Ekiti State, why
were they not delivered to the State party secretariat or residence of
the State Chairman?
In the last two weeks, two scenarios that should be instructive to PDP
leaders across the country, especially in the Southwest were
witnessed. Senator Olujimi of the PDP took food items to APC local
government secretariats for distribution to APC members in Ekiti State
and two weeks after, Governor Fayemi reciprocated by sending food
items Senator Olujimi.
The reality that is presenting itself is that Senator Olujimi has
relationship with the APC government in Ekiti State and the earlier
she is confronted with this and made to make her position clear, the
better for our party in Ekiti State.
