Adeyeye directs supporters to vote for SDP over humiliation from Fayemi

Adeyeye directs supporters to vote for SDP over humiliation from Fayemi



A former governorship aspirant of the Peoples' Democratic party (PDP), Prince Dayo Adeyeye, has directed his supporters to vote for the SDP candidate, Mr Akin Ayegbusi in the gubernatorial election that will be held today.

Adeyeye gave the directive yesterday evening during an emergency meeting held with his supporters at his Ado Ekiti residence. The directive may not be unconnected with the way and manner the APC gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, lashed out at him during a meeting on Thursday afternoon.

An online media (not Nigerian Mirror) had broken the news of the disagreement between the two over allegations of diversion of funds levelled against Adeyeye by PDP defectors who were meant to be the beneficiary of the fund to use for 'mobilising' PDP members to vote for the APC.

A source present at the meeting confirmed to our reporter that Prince Adeyeye was quite furious that Fayemi who was quite younger to him called him a rapacious and avaricious old man over spurious accusation of diversion of fund.

"I did not deduct a Kobo from the money he (referring to Fayemi) gave to me to share to the defectors. What I did was share the money according to the voting strength of the polling units which made some to get more money than others. He did not even allow me to say anything before he started throwing insults at me at my age; I am well over sixty years.", Adeyeye said at the meeting.

The former governorship aspirant of the PDP was quoted to have directed his supporters to vote for the SDP candidate, Mr Akin Ayegbusi; saying Fayemi has shown his autocratic nature and cannot be trusted to fulfill all the promises he made to him before he decided to join ship with him.

Nigerian Mirror recall that Prince Adeyeye defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after he lost the gubernatorial primary to Prof. Kolapo Olusola.

Fayose spoke at the defection event of Engr. Henrich Akomolafe in Ikere Ekiti, where political leaders and stakeholders gathered in a show of unity. Addressing the Governor directly, Fayose said: “Your Excellency, anybody who wants to join this party to genuinely support you is welcome.

December 21, 2025  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has put to rest lingering beerpalour speculations around the Ekiti State governorship ticket as he openly affirmed that Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination for a second term. The affirmation came on Saturday in a birthday message issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, as Governor Oyebanji marked his 58th birthday.
