Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti
State says the defection of former Minister of State for Works, Mr. Dayo
Adeyeye from the PDP to APC will not affect the party’s fortune.
The governor made the disclosure
in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communication and New
Media, Mr Lere Olayinka in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday.
Fayose said that Adeyeye’s
defection to the All Progressives Congress had merely confirmed his earlier
position that he was never a loyal and committed member of the Peoples
democratic Party.
According to him, “I am not
bothered by the action taken by the former aspirant in the just concluded PDP
governorship primary election in the state.
“His move to APC will not in any
way affect us. This is because majority of those he thought were behind him did
not defect with him.
“In fact, one of his two party
agents for the last primary is still with us in PDP and you know what that
means.”
“If somebody is your party agent
and could not go with you to another party it tells a lot and even as he is
moving from PDP, many others from APC are coming to us, so we have nothing to
lose with his defection,” he said.
The governor said that he held no
grudge against him because he had the right to move from one political party to
the other adding that he wished him well in his new party.
“While he was the PDP national spokesman, he
had spoken terrible things against the APC and he has now gone to join the same
party,” Fayose said.
