Ekiti Presidential Campaign List: Fayose’s Name Missing As Allies Make List

By Ayodele Oni

Despite his passive alignment with G5 Governors and Presidential bid of Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), former Governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose lost out in the composition of the state campaign council members.

The list, released on Sunday, by Aminu Tambuwal, Director General of the Presidential Campaign Organization, (PCO) left out Fayose while some of his cronies made the list.

Governorship Candidate of the party in last June’s election, Bisi Kolawole, is the Chairman of the Council.

A statement by PCO states that “The Leadership of the Presidential Campaign Organization (PCO) of our Great Party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), after wide and extensive consultation; has approved the composition of THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL FOR EKITI STATE pursuant to NEC approved guidelines.

“The Membership of the Ekiti State PCC and SCMC is as follows:

“Otunba Bisi Kolawole:Chairman; Chief Makanjuola Ogundipe:-     Vice Chairman; Rt. Hon. Tunji Odeyemi: Secretary.

“All other statutory members as specified in the guideline approved by NEC.”

Former Deputy Governor, Prof Kolapo Olusola, Senator Duro Faseyi, are directors in their respective Senatorial Districts  to be assisted by others.

The statement added that “it is therefore, the wish of our Candidate, H.E. Atiku Abubakar, GCON (Waziri Adamawa), and that of the entire PDP Family that your contribution to the overall success of the assignment of the Council will justify the confidence reposed in each of you by the Leadership of our Great Party.”
