A former Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Prof Kolapo Olusola
has withdrawn from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ekiti South Senatorial
primary.
In the withdrawal letter, he personally signed and addressed
to the National Chairman of the PDP, the former Deputy Governor said that he
even entered the race due to pressure from former Governor, Ayodele Fayose.
According to him, the former Governor, who led him into the
race, has subsequently chosen to back another candidate for the same position.
This was contained in a letter entitled ‘Notification of
Withdrawal from Senatorial Contest’.
“…It is expedient to note, however, that the senatorial
ambition was the making of former Governor Ayodele Fayose,” he said.
According to the former Deputy Governor, Fayose had sent
emissaries to him, asking him to run for the post and he had to yield to the
pressure from concerned stakeholders.
“To my great surprise, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, who openly
endorsed my candidacy for Senate in my town, discretely aided another person
from the same constituency to pick the same senatorial form.
“I’ve consulted widely and have decided not to dwell where
there is no sincerity of purpose but an arrogant display of deception and
hence, pulled out from the contest,” the letter read in part.
