Smart Adeyemi Is Confused, Dangerously Desperate – APC Chieftain-Fanwo Says
A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Kogi State, Mr Kingsley Fanwo has described Senator Smart Adeyemi’s assessment of the last Governorship Primary of the Party in the State as “vituperation of a desperately dangerous bad loser and serial betrayer.
This was as he said that the party is not losing sleep over Adeyemi’s “frivolous” petition before the court, stressing that the party was moving on to consolidate ahead of the November 11, Kogi State Governorship election.
In his words; “Our party has a constitution and it was followed in the entire process. Our Governorship Primary remains one of the most transparent in the history of the State.
Fanwo, who is also the Commissioner for Information and Communications in Kogi State, noted that Adeyemi is only trying to incite the people of Kogi West against Governor Yahaya Bello and the APC leadership in the State after reaping what others sowed into the party. Fanwo, who is also from Kogi West zone, described Senator Smart Adeyemi as an unfair leader pretending to fighting for equity and justice, stressing that Okun is a sophisticated society that can’t be hoodwinked into his crocodile tears.
Fanwo, who stated these while chatting with journalists in Lokoja, notwed that while it proper for the media to give space to all to air their views, they should however be responsible enough not to allow desperate people like Adeyemi to abuse it by dangerously misinforming the public.
According to Fanwo; “The world saw the primary on television and on other media platforms. The primary didn’t only hold, it was free, fair and credible.
“We have always been here with Senator Smart Adeyemi and with all due respect, his own definition of credible election is one won by him. Any other election not won by him is not credible as far as he is concerned.
“I watched him saying all sorts of things after filing his case. He said Alhaji Ahmed Ododo is from the same family, ward and clan as the Governor. He said fielding him was the height of injustice. He dwelled so much on those fallacies and didn’t even remember to tell the world why he is in court.
“To set the record straight, Alhaji Usman Ododo, doesn’t share the same family with the Governor. They are not from the same Ward and they even belong to different state constituencies.
“Assuming without conceding to the fact that he shares the same Ward with the Governor, does that render him legally incapable of vying for the ticket of the party
“The same Smart Adeyemi had told the world the laudable projects of the Governor in Kogi West. Why is he turning around now to accuse the Governor of ethnic bias?”
Fanwo called on APC members to continue to work hard to maintain its political dominance in the state.
