National Secretary of All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru has charged former Ekiti governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi to quit the party instead of “demarketing” it from within.

Speaking on the ‘State Affairs with Edmund Obilo’ podcast, Fayemi claimed the APC had strayed from the ideals of the founding fathers and was gradually losing ideological direction.

Lamenting the dearth of debate and intellectualism within the ruling party, he warned that the handling of consensus arrangements could cause an implosion.

“This is not where the party has come from. We have lost our bearing and the vision of the founding fathers of this party,” he said.

Reacting, Basiru asked the ex-governor to resign from the party if he no longer believed in its ideals.

The APC scribe accused Fayemi of conspiring with opposition elements to weaken the party ahead of the forthcoming Ekiti governorship election.

Basiru said, “We believe that he (Fayemi) should be courageous enough to formally resign membership of the party he so much despise and he so much wish to collapse rather than playing ostrich.

“We urge him that since he so much despise the party and wish the party an implosion, he should go to where whatever he thinks his best idea can be ventilated.

“We wish him (Fayemi) the best of luck, but he should not stay within our party and be wishing us bad luck. He should go to another political party if he no longer believes the party he represents.”
