The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has disqualified 33 governorship aspirants for the 2018 Ekiti State election for disrespecting the State Working Committee (SWC).
The party said that the aspirants whose posters dotted the state have failed visit the SWC to officially unveil their intents, saying that they will not be recognized.
The party made it clear that the affected aspirants would not be listed as those vying to occupy the governorship seat, in view of this brazen disrespect they displayed to the SWC members.
The acting Chairman of the party, Mrs. Kemi Olaleye, who spoke on behalf of the APC when she received one of the aspirants, an Australian-based medical doctor, Dr. Wole Oluyede, at the party’s secretariat, said that only three aspirants have so far shown the SWC that they are serious.
That was even as the aspirant, Wole Oluyede pledged loyalty to the party’s leadership and said that his passion to liberate the state from wanton poverty forced him to plunge into the race.
He assured Ekiti indigenes that the state would benefit from the proposed Malaysian firm’s $18 million palm tree investment in Africa. [myad]
