Ekiti PDP Primary: Senator Faseyi Accuses Fayose Of Backing A Weakling

By Ayodele Oni

There are indications of more troubles for the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) in Ekiti state few days to the Primary Election to pick the party’s flagbearer for June, Governorship election.

A leader of the party and former Senator, Duro Faseyi, openly distanced himself from the activities of a group, being led by former Governor Ayo Fayose and his annoited aspirant for the Governorship poll.

Senator Faseyi stated in a statement on Saturday that with Bisi Kolawole, an aspirant and choice of Fayose as Governor, the state is doomed.

He made it clear that he has never been a member of Osoko Political Group, (OPA) and has not made any financial contribution to the group.

“It’s not hidden the stance I have taken against the arm-twisting tendencies and style of politics championed by Ayo Fayose in Ekiti PDP that led to the defeat of PDP in the 2018  Ekiti Governorship Election, where the bright chances of the party was squandered as a result of his undying and penchant in greed, aggradizement that garnishes his despondency.

“The PDP Repositioning Group which myself and our other respected leaders formed to place the party in its right of place, making it people oriented and answering to the principles of its formation where the people comes first, has me playing significant roles.

“This is where I belong and never in OPA or having anything to do with  whatsoever.

“It’s however not surprising that Ayo Fayose, who is a specialist in every unholy games could believe that not everyone is as desperate as he’s.

“It’s not everyone that has such an unusual  strength and manipulative acumen, who would eat dinner in Ekiti Government house at night and still wake early, rush to have breakfast in bourdillon in Lagos at dawn.

“Saying that Senator Duro Faseyi is Repositioning in the day and hobnobbing around Bisi Kolawole in the night is the height of what Alcohol could influence a mind to think, imagine or say.”

The Senator pointed out that he has a cordial reletionship with Bisi Kolawole but that they are never members of same group within the PDP.

“I did not make any donation to OPA or any campaign purse as being falsely rumoured and aimed at blackmailing me.

“How can Ayo Fayose who made himself the Chairman Finance Committee of OPA/ Bisi Kolawole Campaign Organisation expect that I will donate to it?

“The reason why Bisi Kolawole has chosen to defile friendship is best known to him and whatever a man sowed, he shall reap.

“Ekiti deserves to have a governor, but not the type that wouldn’t be able to maintain sanity and principles.

“It wouldn’t do our dear state any good having a governor in that class, who would be tossed around and can even agreed to be an ‘Adult  dressed in pampers’

“Ekiti deserves a governor, bold and courageous to look in the face of terror and say it’s enough, but not a loosen and weakling  that is lapped, spoon-fed or hoodwinked at the expense of thorough and precise decision making.”
