Ekiti PDP Stakeholders Desert Fayose, Rally Support For Atiku

By Ayodele Oni

The People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) in Ekiti state has declared that former Governor Ayodele Fayose, is on a lone voyage with his current romance with Rivers state Governor, Nyesome Wike.

Members of the party, still sweating over the poor outing during June 18 Governorship election, said it is unfortunate that the former Governor has commenced another political sojourn that will lead him to nowhere.

A statement in Ado Ekiti, signed by Ben Akomolafe, on behalf of party members, under Stakeholders’ Alliance, dissociate themselves from “the recent incongruous journey, by the former Governor to Rivers State, describing it as purely peripatetic, laced with idleness and a roam to further political perdition.”

The PDP leaders said further that “It’s very unfortunate that Fayose is again planning to lead them astray, in less than a week after the electoral loss, when we are still mourning and nursing the avoidable injury suffered by the party in the just concluded June 18th 2022 Gubernatorial election.

“Our loss is due to Mr Fayose’s toxicity, high headedness, hilarious impunity, greed, selfishness and multifaceted egregious behaviors.

“He has again embarked as usual on his nomadic trip to Rivers State, in his desperate attempt to re-ignite his usual game of ‘cashing out’ from Governor Wike.

“It’s appalling that the same Mr Fayose, who refused to step out on the day of the election and thus did not vote for the PDP Governorship candidate, forming a fake illness, suddenly became fit, agile and had capacity to fly through a journey of about 1000km, under the guise of thanking Governor Wike in Port Harcourt.

“We are very disappointed and frown at such injurious activities of Mr. Ayodele Fayose based on his penchant of turning very serious political matters that require sober reflections, into personal business for monetary gains.

“We hereby dissociate ourselves from this indolent and irreverent movements lacking any sincerity and whose only target is making money at the detriment of the overall group interest.

“We are not surprised that former Governor Fayose who couldn’t deliver his polling unit to PDP would go to Governor Wike on thank you tour when  he has not even deem it necessary, to address us here in Ekiti State and evaluate the causes of such monumental embarrassment. Charity they say begins at home.

“It’s disgusting that former Governor Ayodele Fayose who came third in his local govt behind a three month old party, SDP, in the last Governorship election, is now preoccupied only with using the platform of the party to make more money at the expense of disenchanted and disillusioned party members.

“We appreciate  Governor Wike for his support and commitment to the party, but it’s our believe that all hands must be on deck to ensure Alhaji Atiku Abubakar wins the Presidential election, rather than anyone dancing on the grave of the party, as being done by Mr Fayose.

“We are categorically committed to the Presidency of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the division cards being played for monetary rewards by Mr Ayo Fayose is dead on arrival.

“Ekiti PDP will have nothing to do with any anti-Atiku Abubakar campaigns being presently embarked upon in words and actions by Mr Ayo Fayose.

“Lastly, we advised the  candidates with the party tickets to please drop it, especially when there is still INEC window for replacements, should in case they are going with Wike and Fayose to anywhere other than PDP.”
