Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti, through his media aide, Lere Olayinka, has described as false the viral reports that he will be joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) soon.

In a statement exclusively made available to Legit.ng on Friday, February 21, Olayinka said that such claims are only the evil fabrications of his principal's detractors, adding that Fayose remains a stauch member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The remark of the media aide was a direct response to rumours that Fayose is threatening to defect from the PDP to the APC if his reportedly chosen candidate for the state chairmanship, Honourable Bisi Kolawole, loses out in the forthcoming congress.
