The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has taken up the Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, for saying that the defeat of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the outgoing Governor of the state was a mystery.
The party in a statement made on Monday through its Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr. Kola Oluwawole said the statement credited to Prof. Soyinka was “a product of stomach honorarium.”
The PDP alleged that Soyinka was brought to Ekiti for the inauguration of the new Government House in a chartered helicopter paid for from the coffers of the state.
It wondered why Soyinka should allow himself to be used as an image maker of an incumbent governor, who lost an election in all the 16 local government areas in the state and won in less than 20 wards out of 177 wards in the state.
