A political group, Ijumu All Progressive Congress (APC) Progressive Minds has called on the APC in Ijumu local government area to immediately commence expulsion proceedings against Senator Smart Adeyemi as he has become cancerous to the party.

APC stalwart and President, Ijumu APC Progressive Minds, Comrade Kamaldeen Toyin made the call on Tuesday while addressing newsmen at the press center of Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Lokoja.

He said it has become imperative to address the press to set the record straight in the face misinformation and blatant of the glaring circulated by the thoroughly defeated Sen. Smart falsehood being Adeyemi. Friday 14th of April, 2023 primary election offered them the opportunity to show the failed Senator his scorecard.

His press briefing read as follows, “As a people, we are not surprised that Senator Smart Adeyemi is attacking Governor Yahaya Bello today. It is his character to repay good with evil. He has made every of his helper regret their benevolence

“After his ill-fated failure in the 2015 election where he was washed away by the Buhari hurricane: it was the Governor that rehabilitated the political destitute called Smart Adeyemi and brought his political career back to life. We warned the Governor then about our son that he is a snake, that no matter how good you are to him, he will bite you. That is exactly what Senator Smart Adeyemi is doing now.

“The reason the Governor gave for supporting Sen. Smart Adeyemi in 2019 was to push him for the Senate Presidency. It was a selfless Agenda to position Kogi State strategically for development. Today, Senator Smart Adeyemi has forgotten the past and living true to his character of ingratitude, falsehood and all sorts of evil machinations he is known for whenever he loses a political contest

“Friday APC Governorship Primary was the fairest and the freest ever. We commend Govwrnir Bello Matawalle and his team for the standard process 25 was devoid of rancour and violence as the financial members of the expressed their power and right to nominate the candidate of their choice

“Adeyemi’s desperate attempt to fault process was borne out of his desperation to work with certain elements whose satanic agenda is to ensure our dear party is unable candidate for the November 11 Governorship Poll in to present & the state. With the successful conduct of the Governorship primary, their aim has been declared offside and defeated. the

“As witnessed in all the parts of the state, financial members came out massively in Ijumu to vote according to the dictates of their conscience. Smart Adeyemi, despite being from Ijumu Local Government Area, lost woefully to Ahmed Usman Ododo. It was a referendum performance on his woeful a third term Senator. It is therefore not expected that the fairly beaten child is crying.

“We wish to call on the leadership of our party to investigate how non-members of the APC were hurriedly given membership cards strongly suspected to be fake. They could give fake cards, but they couldn’t fabricate payment of dues for them. It is therefore ludicrous to display wanton desperation and falsehood that the process was faulty

“Before the primary, Sen. Smart Adeyemi’s only joker was ethnicity. He claimed to be fighting for “justice and fairness”. He didn’t remember justice and fairness when in 2015, after spending two terms in the Senate, he refused to allow the seat rotate to Yagba.

“He fraudulently and violently seized the ticket of the PUP, only for Sen. Dino Melaye to fly on the Wings of the Buhari Tsunami to defeat him. In 2019, he was able to win the support of the Governor who rallied support for him to win the ticket of the party

“In 2023, he wanted to go for his 4th Term, when Yagba Federal Constituency had not produced Senator. To him, such was just and fair”. To Smart Adeyemi, it can only be considered fair when he wins. Loss means injustice to him. As members of the party in Ijumu Local Government Area, we commend the Governor for allowing a level playground for all the contestants. That process has produced the best candidate and we are confident of victory in November.

He therefore called on the APC in Ijumu Local Government Area to immediately commence expulsion proceedings against Smart Adeyemi as he has become cancerous to the party.
