Erstwhile Secretary of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Dr Tope Aluko has said that he
has apologized to the State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose for all that he did in
the past, vowing to remain committed and loyal to the governor and all that he
represents.
Aluko, who made this known in a
press statement titled; “Why I returned to my political home,” pointed out that
“Fact is that there were series of misunderstanding between myself and my
political leader and benefactor, Governor Fayose. But by the grace of God, we
have resolved all issues and I have apologized to him for whatever wrong steps
that I took in the past. The governor took me back without consideration for
the past and for this, I have vowed to remain committed and loyal to him and
all that he represents.”
He said he had severed political
relationship with the likes of Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr
Kayode Fayemi, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, Senator Biodun
Olujimi, Hon Olamide Oni (Oni Atiba) and others with whom he related while he
had issues with Governor Fayose.
The former PDP secretary
described Governor Fayose as a leader with a very large heart, saying; “I am
also totally in support of the continuity agenda of the Governor, which is the
adoption of Deputy Governor, Prof Kolapo Olusola as the preferred candidate of
the PDP.”
He condemned what he called the
way and manner the duo of Prince Dayo Adeyeye and Senator Olujimi have turned
themselves to opposition within the PDP, particularly Adeyeye’s use of his
radio station, established with the proceed of his less than one year tenure as
a minister under a PDP government, as arrowhead of opposition against Governor
Fayose.
“For record purpose, it was only
when Prince Adeyeye associated politically with Governor Fayose that he was
able to achieve the ministerial position that he missed twice and was also made
Chairman Governing Council of the Ekiti State University as well as National
Publicity Secretary of the PDP.
“It baffles me beyond any
comprehension that someone like Adeyeye, who within nine months as a minister
built a mansion in Abuja and Ado Ekiti as well as a radio station can be going
about presenting himself as aggrieved. Aggrieved for what? For being so
favoured by Governor Fayose?
“Also, it is on record that
Senator Olujimi joined Governor Fayose’s government in 2004 as Special
Assistant on nothing. It was the same Fayose that made her House of Reps
member, Deputy Governor and now a Senator. I wonder why she cannot act like me
by coming back to say sorry to the man who made her,” Aluko said.
While also chiding Fayemi for
neglecting of Ekiti State in the
activities of his office as a
minister, Aluko said he (Fayemi) must be asked what Ekiti has benefited from
his ministerial position and pointed out that the State derived no benefit when
he was governor.
On Senator Babafemi Ojudu’s
governorship ambition, Aluko said; “I have seen Ojudu’s campaign billboards in
Ado Ekiti, the State capital. Apart from using his position as Special Adviser
on Political Matters to the President to promote hatred against the government
of Governor Fayose, what has Ekiti benefitted from his position now and when he
was a Senator that will make the
people to desire him as a governor?”
He reiterated that he had since
returned to the political family of Governor Fayose and “this I have done
without apology to anyone. As from now, it is Fayose leads, I follow and with
other privileged members of the Osoko Political Family, we are United in
Continuity.”
