The National Chairman of the South West Agenda for 2023 (SWAGA), Senator Dayo Adeyeye, has called on the National Caretaker Committee Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Mai Mala Buni, to place Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi on the watchlist of suspected disloyal members.
Adeyeye said this in reaction to Tuesday’s suspension of the APC ward 8 chairman in Ado Ekiti Council area, Mr. Clement Afolabi, for allegedly coordinating for SWAGA in his ward.
SWAGA is a political pressure group within the APC, rooting for Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu as the party’s presidential candidate, come 2023 against Fayemi’s aspiration.

FORMER Senate spokesperson and the National Chairman of the South West Agenda for 2023, Senator Adedayo Adeyeye, on Wednesday, accused Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, of plotting to decimate the All Progressives Congress.
Adeyeye urged party leaders to call Fayemi to order.
He said the governor’s actions and utterances “smirk of quick, deliberate, steps aimed at rescuing victory from the mouth of APC’s nascent national electoral fortunes.”
This was contained in a statement signed by his Media Manager, Mr. Gboyega Adeoye, in Ado Ekiti.
He spoke in response to sack of the APC Caretaker Chairman of Ado Ekiti Ward 8, Clement Afolabi, on trumped up allegation of fraternising with SWAGA, a group which had been canvassing support for the presidential bid of APC National Leader, Senator Bola Tinubu.
2023: Fayemi, Tinubu loyalists clash in Ekiti
Both Tinubu and Fayemi are yet to declare their presidential ambition ahead of the 2023 elections. 4 min read
The members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State loyal to Governor Kayode Fayemi and those backing the party’s national leader,
Bola Tinubu, have continued to be at logger heads in the state.
Although both principals are yet to officially declare their presidential ambition, analysts say they have begun to position themselves should the party zone their presidential ticket to the south.
The battle between the two groups took a different dimension on Monday when a member of the party and Chairman of Ado Ward 8, Clement Afolabi, was suspended for having links with the South West Agenda (SWAGA), a group campaigning for the candidature of the party’s national leader, an act that was described as an “anti-party activity.”
