A former Commissioner and a Chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state, Mr Oladiran Adesua, has slammed Governor Ayodele Fayose over his public conduct and outbursts in recent time.

Ceoafrica gathered that the APC governorship aspirant who described Fayose as ‘unfit’ going by some of his actions said it was ‘appalling and disparaging’ to Ekiti’s value of honour and integrity, for the governor to have personally visited a bank and made withdrawals from a controversial accounts that had attracted national attention when salaries and pensions were not regularly paid for the past six months.

This came as the party warned members of the State Working Committee (SWC) from hobnobbing with any of the governorship aspirants ahead of 2018 poll to prevent to avoid unnecessary suspicion and prevent implosion in the party.

The governor had last week visited the Ado Ekiti branch of the Zenith bank to make personal transaction following the Federal High Court in Ado Ekiti order directing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to lift restriction placed on the governor’s  accounts.

Adesua, who served under Otunba Niyi Adebayo-led government between1999 and 2003, expressed confidence that APC stands the chance of winning the 2018 governorship polls, if a thorough primary which will pave way for the emergence  a credible candidate that has grassroots appeal.

Addressing SWC members, supporters and party members at the APC State Working Committee where he declared his governorship intent ahead of 2018 poll, Adesua advised governor Fayose to be wary of his public conduct and what the backlash of such action would have on the corporate integrity of an average Ekiti man.

According to the him, “How can a  governor went to the bank and came out with bags of money in his hands in a state where salaries, gratuities and  pensions  were not paid? It is affecting our image negatively and this must stop in 2018”.

The Omuo Ekiti-born politician appealed “to the leadership of the party to be fair to all contestants at the primary , so that we can have a formidable candidate that can defeat the PDP.
