The immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has asked members and supporter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not to let the party die in the State.
Those, who spoke at his country home in Afao-Ekiti while addressing party members across the 16 local government areas and the 177 wards in the state today, December 10, said: “we are on a mission to repositioning the party because truly we need a new attitude as members of this party. We must tell ourselves the truth that there is nothing to share in failure and we must join hands to achieve something tangible.
”I know some persons are aggrieved and I know we are humans. I apologize to all those that I have offended; let us come together in unity for this our party not to die in this state. That is my priority as the leader.
”I am doing this after one year I left office just to allow the present All Progressives Congress to display what they have for the people and you can all see for yourselves. I am not here for my selfish interest but just to ensure this party does not fail.”
Fayose warned against creating different groups within the party which he said is not the best option, even as he assured that all issues and tendencies would be resolved for the party to reclaim the state from the APC in future elections.
He regretted the violence and alleged electoral malpractices that marred the last Saturday’s local government election, saying that he warned the leadership of PDP in the state not participate in the poll for obvious reasons.
”Everybody should come back to the party. I am open to reconciliation. If Senator Biodun Olujimi call you for meeting tomorrow, go there and listen to her. All of us are leaders , don’t let us factionalize this party. I am congratulating her (Senator Olujimi) and I don’t have any issue with her and I am sorry for what happened in the past.”
