Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Chief Jide Awe has resigned his position, citing irreconcilable difference between him and the party’s governorship candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi
as main reason.

The Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation has criticised Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, for declaring Thursday a public holiday to draft civil servants to the Peoples Democratic Party campaign rally.
A statement by the Director of Media and Publicity, Wole Olujobi, slammed the governor for turning the state to a jungle where decent behaviour had no place in political conduct.
“For declaring holiday today for workers to attend a political rally, besides subjecting Ekiti State to ridicule among Nigerians, that decision shows clearly that Fayose has lost the support of his party members, thousands of whom had defected to APC in recent times over alleged greed, indecent conduct and selfishness.
“The choice of the venue of the rally on a major highway is instructive, as it became clear that he (Fayose) would not be able to muster enough crowds that would not betray him as a spent politician.
We sympathise with the stranded students that were lured to the rally only to be left in the lurch immediately the rally was over to face their pitiful fate.
July 14 is here. We urge Ekiti people to vote for their freedom by voting for Dr Kayode Fayemi, a man of vision that can be trusted with the power and resources of the state.”
KFCO urged Ekiti people to end the era of selling Ekiti’s patrimony to foreigners who it said, in the last three years, enjoyed exclusive rights to government contracts.
