Ekiti APC members reject Fayemi’s preferred guber candidate
In a previous report by Legit.ng, some members of the ruling APC from Ekiti state on the platform of Ekiti Mandate Group staged a protest at the national convention of the ruling party, rejecting the primary election that produced Biodun Oyebanji as the governorship candidate.
Oyebamiji, who is said to be the anointed candidate of Governor Kayode Fayemi emerged the guber candidate after other aspirants boycotted the primary election.
Staging a protest at the Eagle Square venue of the APC national convention, the Ekiti protesters in their hundreds were seen with placards bearing various inscriptions, calling on the party to recognise Eng. Kayode Ojo as the preferred choice to fly the party's governorship ticket.
