The National Chairman of the Southwest Agenda for Tinubu (SWAGA), Senator Dayo Adeyeye, has expressed optimism the next Ekiti Governor will emerge from the political camp of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Adeyeye said SWAGA, a political group within the All Progressives Congress(APC), was fast gaining wider acceptability among the people of the State beyond partisan lines few months after its inauguration.
He spoke in Ado Ekiti, the state capital while addressing APC members at the conclusion of the mobilisation effort organised by SWAGA across the 16 council areas of the State.
The APC Chieftain said that the group has started aggressive mobilisation of voters to save the party from likely defeat in the forthcoming June 16, 2022 governorship election.
He said the Fayemi-led APC government has disappointed people, adding that Tinubu’s cut-like followership remains the only saving grace for the party.
The ex-Minister regretted that the APC in Ekiti state has lost its hitherto soaring popularity despite being the ruling party due to what he described as politics of hatred and alienation by Governor Fayemi and his foot soldiers.
“SWAGA is now a movement that has taken over Ekiti. If they conduct any primary for governorship in Ekiti and presidency today, SWAGA Will win.

“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that we are promoting is a man who doesn’t forget his people unlike betrayers that we have here. So, SWAGA is the right way to tread.
“They said it is direct primary, that makes us happy. They won’t be able to rig anything. The executives loyal to Governor Fayemi are fake, we are the authentic ones that conducted the ward, local government and state congresses in line with the guidelines of our party, others were imposed.
“Let us begin the grassroots politicking. Don’t be afraid of anybody, this government has got to its twilight. Don’t be deceived by their antics. Nothing good is coming from them again.
“Instead of going out to canvass for votes, they are doing their permutations on laptop computers, that has always been their idea, but we are on the streets now working , because we know the value of our people,” Adeyeye said.
On the needs for the party’s chapter to be rejigged and be more united, Ekiti Chairman of SWAGA, Senator Anthony Adeniyi (SAN), said the large turnout of APC members had confirmed the group’s acceptability in Ekiti.
Adeniyi berated those who are branding SWAGA members as “renegades and incurable troublemakers” within APC, describing them as ignorant who knew nothing about party politics.
