Ajanaku Debunks Defection To APC, Says He’s Yet To Declare Support For Any Party
The media office of Hon. Rotimi Ajanaku has reacted to the defection rumor of its principal from Zenith Labor Party to All Progressive Congress.
Ajanaku who described the story as assumption and a figment of the imagination of the writer, ( westerndailynews) also noted that the cook story is not only unfounded but a fake news in its entirety.
Below us the full speech:
Our attention has been drawn to the above headline of a story published by an online medium, Western Daily News. The cooked story is not only unfounded, but a fake news in its entirety.
We are surprised that a medium could still continue spreading fake news, when the government of the day completely frowns at it. The ethics of journalism demand that the three key elements of truth, objectivity and fairness should guide a professional journalist in his write-ups. Any deviation from this amount to quackery which has been the bane of the profession. A well-trained journalist must always be factual.
Truly, Hon Rotimi Ajanaku contested the election to the House of Representatives on February 23, 2019 on the platform of Zenith Labour Party(ZLP). Based on his amiable personality, he performed creditably well , but couldn’t win because the party has no visible political structure in his constituency(Ibadan Northwest/Southwest). Up till now he has not declared his support for any other party, including his former party, All Progressives Congress(APC). If he is to take any position on supporting any party, his followers will be in the know. He doesn’t decide unilaterally.
So, the story is just an assumption and a figment of the imagination of the writer. He has not returned to APC.
