All
Progressives Congress, APC, has said it would vehemently oppose the choice of
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose as Deputy Chairman of the Nigerian
Governors’ Forum, NGF.
The
body is due to elect its deputy chairman on Wednesday in Abuja.
But
source close to an APC governor in one of the North Central States said that
the choice of Fayose has rattled APC governors who have vowed to frustrate
PDP’s plan of fielding him for the position.
According
to the source, the governors recalled the role against the election of
President Mohammadu Buhari during the campaigns, resolving that such a
sensitive position would not be left in the hands of some they tagged as having
“diarrhea of the mouth”.
He
said: “I wonder why the PDP thinks the Ekiti governor should be the choice for
the Deputy Chairman of the Forum when they could not accept him as the chairman
of their PDP Governors’ Forum. The choice is unacceptable to us and we would
oppose it when we meet on Wednesday”.
According
to him, the APC was not against the PDP fielding a level headed governor to
deputise for the chairman of the forum, but “certainly not Governor Fayose that
is given to reckless and inciting statements and actions.”
