Fayemi must explain his alleged N1bn donation to Akeredolu’s campaign – Ekiti Youths

The Ekiti Progressives Youths (EPY) has demanded an explanation from the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr Kayode Fayemi over his alleged contribution of N1 billion campaign fund of the Ondo State Governor-elect, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN).

Rising from its meeting in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday, the EPY said in a communique signed by its President and Secretary, Mr Samuel Adekunle and Comrade Roland Adewale that it was alarmed that Dr Fayemi, who left Ekiti State in debt could donate N1 billion to the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship election campaign in Ondo State.

The youths said it was strange that Fayemi could donate N1.5 billion to the APC presidential election campaign and another N1 billion to governorship election campaign within two years when youths, who are members of his party are walloping in abject poverty.

They said it was wicked for Fayemi to have used fund looted from Ekiti State to purchase appointment as Secretary to the Government of Ondo State for his wife, Erelu Bisi Fayemi.

The EPY noted that the N1 billion allegedly wasted in Ondo State by Fayemi would have empowered 10,000 youths in Ekiti State at N100, 000 each and that would have gone a long way to alleviate the sufferings of the youths, especially those in the APC.

Ekiti youths should recall also that Fayemi allegedly donated N1.5 billion to the campaign fund of President Mohammadu Buhari, which many believed qualified him for the ministerial appointment that he got.

It should also be recalled that two out of the four trailers of rice and other food items donated to the Ekiti State APC by Dangote Foundation, were diverted to Ondo State and handed to Akeredolu by Fayemi’s wife.

Now, Fayemi has used another N1 billion to buy SSG appointment for his wife in Ondo State. This is the height of wickedness and we, the youths of Ekiti State are waiting for Fayemi to declare his ambition to contest the 2018 governorship election.

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...
