PRESS STATEMENT: APC Youths caution party against blocking FG bailout to Ekiti

Youths in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, under the aegis of Ekiti APC Youths Congress (EAYC) have cautioned the party against any move that could prevent the State from benefitting from the Federal Government bailout Fund, which is aimed at assisting States that are unable to pay workers salary to do so.

The youths, who reacted to the alleged plot being spearheaded by some leaders of the APC in Abuja to stop Ekiti State from getting the federal government bailout fund, said it will be wicked for anyone to want the people of the State, especially the workers to surfer because of politics.

In a press statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday and jointly signed by Mr Tope Ogunkuade and Comrade Tunji Adeleye, Convener and Secretary respectively, the EAYC reiterated their advice to leaders of the APC to prepare for 2018 instead of wasting time and resources on Fayose’s removal, which has failed to materialise since 2014.

The youths said since Ekiti State Government had already fulfilled all conditions prescribed by the Federal Government to benefit from the bailout fund and the ultimate beneficiaries would be Ekiti workers, it will be unpatriotic for anyone to want to block it for whatever political reason.

They said not all government workers in Ekiti State were supporters of Governor Ayodele Fayose and the PDP and that if the workers were not paid; all residents of the State, including members of the APC will be affected.

Speaking further, the youths lamented that it was painful that because of APC leaders’ obsession for their “Fayose Must Go” agenda, they do not mind the effect this plot to block the bailout fund will have on Ekiti workers and the entire people of the State.

They advised that instead of going about attacking and plotting against Fayose and his government, APC leaders in the State should rather close ranks and present a common candidate that will confront whoever that will be presented by the PDP in 2018.

The youths, who also frown at the persistent deceit of members of the APC by the party leaders said, the leaders should stop deceiving the party supporters that Fayose will be removed.

They said the same story of “Fayose is going” has been told since 2014 that he assumed office and up till now, the governor is still enjoying his office and it should be clear to all discerning minds that the governor will complete his tenure and if care is not taking, he will hand over to another PDP governor.

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area.

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
