Former Aviation Minister, Femi
Fani-Kayode, has reacted to ex-Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel’s decision to
run for the office of the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP.
Fani-Kayode, while lauding the
former governor, said his “leadership acumen” stands him out above others.
The PDP Chieftain, who described
all aspirants from the zone as his personal friends, however, maintained that
the former Ogun Governor remained the “first among the equals in the pack.”
Daniel officially declared
interest to contest for the position yesterday in Abuja.
The former governor in his speech
titled, “Let’s start afresh…Together we can do it,” said he was running for the
office to make a difference having taken stock of the troubles that ravaged the
party in the past couple of years.
He said, “I have come to the
conclusion that the challenges which face our political party are not
permanent. They could be rectified through a careful deployment of resources,
the will power and ability to work through difficult situations, concessions
and compromises if need be, and ability to move all our people into one
disciplined accord on all matters.
“I declare before you today to
contest for the office of the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party
at the national convention.
“I come to this resolve after a
careful analysis of the challenges confronting the PDP and on the strength of
clear understanding of my personal ability to provide the needed leadership in
our collective search for solutions.”
