The Campaign Organization of Sola Fatoba in Ekiti State, has refuted being circulated that he has been claiming to have been picked by the governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and his deputy, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi as All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Ekiti Central I, in next year’s general elections.
The rumour around town said to have been circulated by those feeling threatened by the increasing popularity of Hon. Fatoba is to the effect that the choice of who will represent Ekiti Central Constituency 1 is brewing tension among the leaders, aspirants and supporters and that Fatoba” has been picked by the Governor elect.
But in a statement on behalf of Fatoba Campaign Organization by Kolade Ogunsakin declared: We are using this to inform our teeming admirers that the Hon. Sola Fatoba that we know can never and will never get himself involved in such misdemeanor.
"So, we appeal to our brothers and sisters across Ado/Irepodun local government areas to discountenance this nefarious and jaundiced information.
"We could have disregarded it since it's been seen as an attempt to distract the attention of Hon Sola Fatoba Campaign Organization, but we see it
needful to sustain the good name of our Principal, Hon Steve Olusola Fatoba.
"The particular reference made to our visitation to Ado Ekiti ward 3 has necessitated the fact that we clearly maintain that the particular ward was among the thirteen wards scheduled to be toured as part of our familiarization initiatives.
"But incidentally, our visitation to this ward coincided with the Aduloju's clan Ogun festival, and it is in the family's tradition to always accompany the festival with shootings by the indigenous hunters.
"It is therefore very unfortunate and saddening that some retrogressive minded dissidents have gone to social media associating our principal with
the shootings.
"At this campaign end, all we preach is love and peace, even as we pray for the success of the coming primaries in our party".
The campaign train of Hon. Fatoba has so far visited all wards in Ado Ekiti and Irepodun Local Government Area to canvass for supports where he was accorded tumultuous reception.
