The Ekiti State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) has rejected the Court of Appeal judgement which on Wednesday, nullified the election of the Spokesman of the Senate, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, describing it as a travesty of justice.
The APC, in a strong worded statement issued by its Director of Media and Publicity, Elder Sam Oluwalana, noted that the short period spent by Senator Adeyeye at the red chamber was indelible and remarkable for the people of Ekiti South and the state in general. It added that the judgement contradicts the wish of the people in Ekiti South.
“The judgement, delivered earlier today can best be described as a travesty of Justice and robbing Peter to pay Paul,” the Party declared.
Elder Oluwalana, who doubles as SSA (Media) Party Matters to the state Governor stated that , the Prince of Ise Ekiti exhibited exemplary traits while in the upper chambers.
“We commend Prince Dayo Adeyeye, who was highly-reverred by his colleagues in the Upper Chambers, for the exemplary leadership, which he exhibited within the short period he spent in the Senate. We area proud of his achievements during the period, as he was able to manage information outflow, without any scandal in the House”.
The party called on the people to remain law-abiding and continue supporting the Government in the state.
“We advise our supporters in the state not to be swayed by the judgement, but to rather remain steadfast with the state government, in its quest to make things better for the people of the state”, the statement added.
