…Atiku in charge of APC Ekiti campaign
As the governorship election of Ekiti inches closer, the All Progressives Congress (APC) does not want to leave anything to chance. The party has announced Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State as the leader of its 77-man campaign team for the prosecution if the governorship ambitions of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Minister of Mining and Solid Minerals.
However, Governor Ayo Fayose received the news with derision. He took to his Twitter handle on 25 May, saying: “I saw APC’s gathering of 77 for Ekiti election which I regard as the Biblical Army of the Philistines that will crumble against the Israelites. APC didn’t set up 77-man committee on economic recovery, herdsmen killings and hunger, it is Ekiti that is more important to them.”
