The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) members from the Ekiti State House of Assembly yesterday said that it was
the immediate past governor of the State, Mr Ayodele Fayose that directed them
to support Governor Kayode Fayemi in the interest of Ekiti.
This is just as they denied that
they have decamped to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).
They made the disclosure
yesterday when the Deputy Speaker, Mr Adewumi Olusegun briefed newsmen in Ado
Ekiti on behalf of other caucus members.
He said, “We remain committed
members of the PDP as against insinuation in some quarters that we have
decamped to APC.
“We make bold to say that our
support for the state governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi was at the instance of the
outgone Governor Ayodele Fayose who directed that we should co-operate with the
governor elect then in the interest of Ekiti State.
“It was on this premise of the
advice that we acted, because Ekiti agenda is bigger than any individual or
political party.”
Olusegun said that Senator
Olujimi is the most eminently qualified at the moment to be in the leadership
position as the highest political office holder presently in the state.
He described those having
different opinion as “mischievous, lazy and political jobbers as there is no
contest about the leadership of the party since the position is not contested
for but earned.”
Olusegun described the House of
Reps members in Ekiti as ‘yes men who are not capable of having opinion of
their own’.
The lawmakers declared that Tope
Aluko, the erstwhile secretary of the party in the state, remained a bonafide
member of the PDP and was not at any time expelled.
