adsKayode Fayemi, former Ekiti State governor, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) is gradually losing the ideals and democratic culture on which it was founded, warning that the increasing adoption of consensus arrangements could spark a crisis within the party.
Fayemi spoke during an interview on State Affairs, a podcast hosted by Edmund Obilo, where he expressed concern over the conduct of APC primaries and the shrinking space for internal debate.
He said consensus candidacy is only acceptable when it emerges voluntarily and does not deprive party members of their right to freely choose candidates.
“This is not where the party has come from. We have lost our bearings and the vision of the founding fathers of this party,” he said.
The former governor also rejected claims that he imposed a successor during his administration in Ekiti State, insisting that the current governor emerged through a transparent and competitive primary election.
