Informants disclosed the quiet fight between Mr Ayo Fayose, the People’s Democratic Party’s candidate in the upcoming gubernatorial election in Ekiti state- and party deep pocket, Kashamu Buruji has deepened.

And the two appeared to be working at cross road of party interest to actualise personal assertions.

Insiders revealed the N1b fund provided was a personal agreement between Mr Fayose and Mr Buruji.

Sources disclosed refusal of the candidate to honour any form of repayment in the course of campaign is the cause of the simmering but quiet quarrel between the duo.
