Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has reportedly registered his displeasure towards his former Special Assistant on Stomach Infrastructure, Sunday Anifowose, popularly known as Sunshine, by sacking him for voting former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, during Peoples Democratic Party Primaries in Abuja.
KEMI FILANI NEWS recalls that Atiku emerged the PDP presidential candidate for the 2023 election with 371 votes to defeat Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, who scored 237 votes at the Moshood Abiola Stadium on Saturday in Abuja.
It would be recalled that Fayose had described Wike as a “man with exemplary character” while calling for support for lawyer turned-politician’s presidential ambition.
During the presentation of the party presidential nomination form to Wike in Port Harcourt, Fayose said; “As an elder statesman, I know what is right and just. I am here as his brother, his friend, to a man with exemplary character. For Governor Wike, what you see is what you get.”
According to SaharaReporter, a source said that Fayose is upset and angry with some delegates from Ekiti who voted for Atiku, against his choice.
The former governor was said to have sent a SOS message to some of his core supporters that Sunday (Sunshine) should never be seen close to his NTS Hotel at Ado Ekiti henceforth, for daring to go against his directive.
“Fayose is still making his findings to know the number of delegates from Ekiti that flouted his order, but since Sunshine’s vote for Atiku is clearly confirmed, Fayose has vowed to deal with him seriously for such action, despite the immediate verbal molestation and harassment of Sunshine on Saturday evening by Fayose at the Abuja hotel, where the state delegates were lodged,” a source told SaharaReporters.
Another source while confirming the development said Fayose would not spare Sunshine and others who voted for Atiku against Wike.
