The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has described Wednesday’s sitting on the highway by members of the House of Assembly as shameful. It said it was the worst form of mediocrity that assaulted the people’s sensibilities.
The party, which described the lawmakers as lacking integrity and accomplices in the promotion of the alleged financial crime over which they were defending the governor, wondered when it became political persecution to answer for an alleged crime against the state.
It regretted that the hallowed chamber of the Ekiti parliament was peopled by characters, “who should not have qualified to be councillors, but were imposed as candidates by Governor Ayo Fayose in place of well-educated and exposed people, to enable him exploit their ignorance for personal benefit.”
