Fayose: ‘Joining APC Is Like Leaving Jesus Christ For Satan’

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has tackled Gbenga Aluko, a former Senate Deputy Chief Whip, over claims that he was secretly plotting to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Aluko had earlier told journalists that Fayose’s alleged moves stem from the governor’s realisation that his 2019 agenda cannot be achieved on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

“In APC, there is no move that you make that a leader like me won’t know. Fayose knew that he can’t win the forthcoming election and we are following every of his moves and attempt to join APC,” he had said.

But Idowu Adelusi, Fayose’s Chief Press Secretary, said in reaction: “The news going viral that Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose is making move to defect to APC, is false. It is a figment of imagination of the APC which manufactured the story.

“Joining APC is like leaving Jesus Christ for Satan. It is like wanting to die by taking Gamalin 20, or planning to commit suicide by jumping down from skye scrapper.

“Fayose will never join the APC, rather, he would welcome APC members to the PDP.

“Fayose is preoccupied with plan to transit power from PDP to PDP Ekiti in 2018,” he said.
