Fayose takes over ekiti sate as six APC members defects to PDP

Six members of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
in the Ekiti House of Assembly defected to the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Thursday just as
the governor, Kayode Fayemi was leaving office.
They are Adeojo Ayodele (Ekiti South West II
Constituency), Olowo Ajiboye (Oye II), Adeloye
Adeyinka (Ikole I), Abeni Olayinka (Ado II), Fatunba
Olajide (Moba II), and Olugbemi Joseph (Ikole II).
Until now, the APC had 25 of 26 members in the
House while PDP had only one.
Mr. Fayemi, who is also a member of the APC, left
office following the expiration of his four-year
tenure.
The defection of the lawmakers, who were called to
the podium, was announced as the new governor, Ayo
Fayose was being sworn in.
In his inaugural speech, the new governor said the
APC was dead and buried in Ekiti State.
Mr. Fayose governed the state between 2003 and
2006 on the platform of the PDP, which then
dominated the House of Assembly.
