Fayose Reaffirms Commitment to PDP, Set to Lead Campaigns Across LGs in Ekiti

 

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, reiterated his allegiance to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday, affirming his intention to spearhead campaigns across the 16 local government areas of the state in preparation for the forthcoming congresses.

Addressing a gathering of PDP stakeholders in Ado Ekiti at the NTS Events Centre, Fayose debunked speculations suggesting he had defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He firmly stated his continued loyalty to the PDP and urged party members to desist from spreading unfounded rumors.

“I would never join APC,” Fayose emphasised, urging PDP members to refrain from tarnishing his reputation and to prioritise unity within the party.

He expressed appreciation for Governor Oyebanji’s efforts in the state, acknowledging the governor’s initiatives irrespective of political affiliations.

Reflecting on his past support for Asiwaju Tinubu in the presidential election, Fayose highlighted the importance of Yoruba unity while reaffirming his commitment to contesting against Governor Oyebanji in future elections.

Calling for unity among PDP members in Ekiti State, Fayose stressed the need to prevent factionalism within the party. He urged party members to work towards peace and cohesion to secure electoral victories.

“I have come to tell you that the PDP must not die in Ekiti State,” Fayose declared, pledging to commence campaigns in two local government areas and provide logistical support for the party’s election activities across all areas.

“I am not looking for opposition,” he asserted, warning skeptics that his influence would be evident during elections.
