PURPORTED “VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE” AGAINST SENATOR YEMI ADARAMODU IS FAKE, MISCHIEVOUS AND THE HANDWORK OF POLITICAL JOBBERS — EKITI SOUTH ELDERS FORUM.

The attention of the authentic and duly recognized Ekiti South Elders Forum has been drawn to a mischievous and fabricated press release allegedly issued by a faceless group parading itself as “Ekiti South Senatorial District Elders Forum” against the Distinguished Senator representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, Senator Adeyemi Raphael Yemi Adaramodu.

We wish to categorically state that the said publication is false, misleading, politically motivated and does not in any way represent the position of the legitimate Ekiti South Elders Forum, which is a well-registered, structured and widely respected socio-political body under the leadership of its Chairman, His Excellency, Chief Abiodun Aluko.

Speaking with newsmen, the Secretary of the Forum, Comrade Afuye Oluwaseun, described the publication as the handiwork of political jobbers, idle and lazy ignoramuses whose sole aim is to tarnish the image and reputation of both the organization and Senator Yemi Adaramodu ahead of the 2027 political activities.

According to him, “The authentic Ekiti South Elders Forum never at any point held any meeting or issued any vote of no confidence against Senator Yemi Adaramodu. The fake publication originated from illogical and unreasonable individuals who are desperate to gain cheap political attention through falsehood and propaganda.”

Comrade Afuye further emphasized that Senator Yemi Adaramodu remains one of the most visible and impactful representatives Ekiti South has produced in recent democratic history, citing his effective legislative contributions, empowerment programmes, infrastructural facilitation and consistent engagement with stakeholders across the district.

The Forum also urged members of the public to disregard the fake statement and avoid falling victim to the antics of desperate political merchants bent on causing disunity within the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Senatorial District at large.

The elders reaffirmed their confidence in Senator Adaramodu’s leadership and noted that his overwhelming endorsement by APC stakeholders across Ekiti South Senatorial District as the consensus candidate for the 2027 senatorial election further validates his acceptability, political strength and impressive performance.

It would be recalled that APC stakeholders across the six local government areas of Ekiti South Senatorial District unanimously adopted Senator Adeyemi Raphael Adaramodu as the party’s consensus candidate for the 2027 senatorial race after wide consultations with party leaders, members and critical stakeholders.

The stakeholders, during their meeting held at the Senatorial Office along Moshood Road, Ikere Ekiti, affirmed that the adoption of Senator Adaramodu was based on his track record of quality representation, loyalty to the party, accessibility and commitment to the growth and unity of the APC in Ekiti South.

The Forum therefore called on the people of Ekiti South to remain united, focused and continue supporting leaders with proven capacity, integrity and dedication to public service rather than giving attention to fabricated stories sponsored by enemies of progress.

Comrade Afuye Oluwaseun

Secretary,

Ekiti South Elders Forum.
