OLUJIMI: Five PDP members of the House of Representatives in Ekiti State have shown their support for ex-Governor Ayodele Fayose having disowned Senator Olujimi led faction.
They also expressed their confidence in the leadership of the Chief Gboyega Oguntuase led State Working Committee.
They dissociated themselves from Saturday’s meeting of some stakeholders held at the instance of the Senate Minority Leader, Mrs Biodun Olujimi, which called for the dissolution of the SWC.
FAYOSE Relieved Of His PDP Duties…. New Leader Speaks
The House of Representatives members are Kehinde Agboola (Ekiti-North Federal Constituency I), Thaddeus Aina (Ekiti North II), Ayo Oladimeji (Ekiti Central I), Segun Adekola (Ekiti South I) and Akin Awodumila (Ekiti South II).
Stating their loyalty to the immediate past governor of the state, Mr Ayodele Fayose, the legislators said there was no leadership vacuum in the PDP in Ekiti State, advising those desperate for political leadership to wait for their time.
The members called on the Senate leadership to caution Olujimi against causing a crisis that could affect the party’s chances at the 2019 general elections.
In a statement signed on their behalf by Adekola, the caucus said they were not consulted before the meeting took place, adding that most of those who attended worked against the party in the July 14 governorship election.
“While we agree that individuals or groups have rights to hold meetings, we are miffed that Senator Olujimi is taking her selfish agenda of collapsing the party structures to the extreme.
“We were not consulted before the meeting was held and most of those who attended the meeting were those who worked against our party in the July 14 governorship election. Some of them were even governorship candidates of other parties, and collectively, they could not get up to 1,000 votes in the election.
“Also, leaders like Chief Bola Olu-Ojo, who attended the meeting innocently have started dissociating themselves from its outcome and by Saturday this week, a proper meeting of stakeholders will be held in the state,†the statement read.
