Mr Adeyeye alleged the congresses were characterised by manipulations and irregularities which recorded one death.
The one-time spokesman of the Senate, who belongs to the Southwest Agenda for Bola Ahmed Tinubu 2023 , spoke with journalists on Sunday in Ado-Ekiti.
“The ward congresses purportedly took place in Ekiti but the manner of their conduct was nothing near all democratic norms,” he said. “You will recall that the Ekiti Chairman of SWAGA, Sen. Tony Adeniyi, had issued a statement that having consensus arrangement might not be possible in Ekiti because of the determination of the Tokan-Tokan Group to dominate and control the soul of the congresses.
“In places such as Ijero, Ado- Ekiti and Oye Local Government Areas extreme violence was visited on the people, leading to one death in Ado-Ekiti Ward 10. Sam Oluwalana, APC’s Caretaker Director, Media and Communications Committee, who also doubles as Special Assistant to the Governor, said Mr Adeyeye’s claims were frivolous.
