The leading Governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Otunba Emmanuel Fayose has described the recent endorsement of Governor Biodun Oyebanji by a former governor of the state, Mr. Ayodele Fayose as shameful, deceitful and unfair to the party.
This was contained in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital on Tuesday, personally signed by Otunba Fayose said the event is of no consequence and amounts to nothing.
Otunba Fayose who is the younger brother to the ex- governor of Ekiti state , carpeted the move, saying the former governor has acted in total betrayal of the PDP, the party upon which he became the governor on two terms, stressing that what happened in Ekiti was nothing but jamboree.
“I watched with utter dismay, the charade carried out by supposed leaders of Ekiti State. I am referring to the supposed endorsement of Governor Biodun Oyebanji by some past governors of the state. What was even a source for concern for me was the involvement of former Governor Ayo Fayose.
While conceding the fact that the former governor has the right and he is at liberty to take any political stance that he deems fit and proper, I am utterly disgusted that he had to carry the PDP along in his show of shame.
The statement reads in part:
“My concern is such that, how could someone who had in the past benefitted immensely from the PDP on many occasions now wants to be seen to be undermining the party in a brazen and shameful manner? For me, this is shameful and does not reflect the Fayose ethos of Omoluabi in anyway.
“The event was a show of shame, with the strength of all acclaimed former Governors and decampees, rented crowd it was far less than 10,000, out of three (3) million ekiti population which clearly shows people are tired of Apc administration in the state. It was a total rejection,”
Fayose said.
He however urged his brother to quit the PDP if he does not have any formula for repositioning the party to its former winning strategy rather than ridiculing himself in the public space as displayed in the just concluded political hullabaloo.
