Lere Olayinka, Special
Assistant on Public ccommunications to Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose,
has lambasted the APC for attacking the PDP over inclusion of former Delta
State Governor, James Ibori in the National Convention Committee.
Olayinka said there were APC
ex-convicts in the ruling party too and warned APC to desist from throwing
stones from the glass house where they live.
He wrote on Saturday: “Fact is
Ibori was convicted in UK, he has served his punishment, and imprisonment of
anyone should be reformatory and not a stigma with which someone’s existence
must be terminated.
“Now to the APC; 1. The first
National Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande was jailed in 1984 by a
Tribunal duly set up by Buhari’s military regime for using funds belonging to
the old Oyo State to fund his political party.
“Interestingly, Baba Bisi Akande
was only released from jail and not pardoned by the Ibrahim Babangida
government.
“It is also a fact that it was late Chief
Sunday Afolabi who prevailed on the Osun State PDP not to go to court to raise
the issue of Akande’s conviction vis his qualification to contest election as a
governor in 1999.
“2. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, the
APC Leader in the House of Representatives was convicted for professional
misconduct by the Supreme Court of Georgia, United States of America.
“Fact is Hon Gbajabiamila was
convicted in the United States for stealing his client’s $25,000 and he is
leading the APC in the House of Reps. He was banned from practising law in the
USA for 36 months.
“The punishment for Femi Gbaja’s
offence would have been debarment for life, however he played dead before a
full panel of the Supreme Court of Georgia led by Chief Justice Leah Ward
Sears, before the court could rule on the petition from his client, he filed a
petition for Voluntary Discipline, filed under bar rule 4-227(b) in which he
fully admitted to stealing $25,000 from his client.
“In spite of this indictment,
Gbajabiamila was even presented to be Speaker of the House of Reps and same APC
people are condemning the inclusion of Ibori in the PDP National Convention
Committee”.

ReplyDeleteWhich side are u? By ur name I can tell
ReplyDeleteSome PDP thieves decamped and joined APC before the 2015 elections. Others thieves joined the ruling party for fear of prosecution. The totality of PDP thieves are presently in APC. So PDP as presently consituted is the best party the country can boast of. It is not the name, but the individuals that make a party. If you vote APC in 2019, those thieves will do worse than what they did while in PDP. Be wise guys.
