A former National Publicity
Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, has accused the
Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, of intimidating the people.
Adeyeye described Fayose as
pharaoh of Ekiti and accused the governor of harassing other members of the
party that do not belong to his group.
The former minister of state for
works, stated this in a statement by the Media Director of Prince Adedayo
Adeyeye Movement, Chief Niyi Ojo.
“We are worried that a sitting
governor who has refused to make life comfortable for the people of the state,
will shamelessly prevent good gesture by other party members in ameliorating
the problems of the citizens of the state, and the PDP members in particular,”
it read.
PAAM wishes to condemn in clear
terms the harassment being visited on party members by the governor who has
been arm-twisting them across the 16 Local Government Areas of the state,
forcing them to reject palliative Christmas gifts from other party chieftains
while he, as a governor, has refused to help their cause.
While we know and agree of
certainty that the action of the Governor was borne out of inferiority complex,
we however, feel that he should not be allowed to push out our party members
who have been totally pauperised by his failed policies in the state, and force
them to jump into the All Progressives Congress (APC) in search of greener
pastures.
It is on record that the grand
reception given to our principal, Prince Adedayo Adeyeye by Ekiti Indigenes had
never been bestowed on anyone who is not a current public office holder in the
history of Ekiti politics.
This, we are sure, is the reason
why the insomnia governor Fayose has been suffering in the last few weeks has
increased and causing him to become paranoid.
We are genuinely worried that a
governor who has usurped local government funds in the name of providing for
the needs of the people without anything to show for it, has decided to close
the door against members of the PDP who are genuinely making efforts at ameliorating
the economic challenges of the needy within the party.
While we remain committed to the
cause of PDP in Ekiti State as a group of major stakeholders, we wish to state
that it has become necessary for the National Working Committee (NWC) of our party
to call Mr Fayose to order before he, out of selfishness, snuff life out of the
party in Ekiti State.
We reiterate our unalloyed
commitment to the cause of the PDP as a party in Ekiti and we assure all party
members that all attempts by the state governor at turning the party to his
private estate shall be resisted while we take bore of the need to preserve the
integrity and continued survival of our party in Ekiti State.”
