Ekiti 2018: Why voters must reject APC ―Ondo PDP boss

THE Ondo State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Clement Faborode, has advised voters in Ekiti State to reject the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate in the July 14 governorship poll, Dr Kayode Fayemi, so that the people of Ekiti will not witness the bad experience Ondo people are having under an APC-led government.

Faborode gave this advice in Ado-Ekiti, on Tuesday, while addressing some council workers who were on a solidarity visit to Governor Ayodele Fayose.

Faborode said the people of Ondo State witnessed a reversal of all the gains made under a PDP government in the state, by the current APC administration.

He said: “Free health services and education provided by the PDP in Ondo State were cancelled by the APC administration.

Didn’t you hear when pregnant women protested in Ondo State? State hospitals where pregnant women used to deliver free of charge now collect huge sums of money from them.

“Students in tertiary institutions now pay through the nose.

All the promises they made were not fulfilled. Ondo and Ekiti people are the same and I don’t pray and want Ekiti people to suffer under an APC government. When the APC was in government here, they sacked council workers and some teachers and threatened to sack more.

“If they come back to the office, they will sack workers. I was formerly the Chairman of Ifedore Local Government Area in Ondo State and I know the worth of council workers.

Please go and be the apostles of no room for APC in Ekiti State,” he said.

Faborode noted that Governor Fayose did not sack any worker despite the challenging financial condition of the state and added that the best thing would be a continuity of the legacies of the administration by voting PDP’s Prof Kolapo Olusola in the July 14 election.
