The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has pleaded with the APC lawmakers in Ekiti State to embrace the olive branch extended to them by governor Fayose in the interest of the development of the state.
In a statement signed Monday by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party also called on all political stakeholders in Ekiti State to embrace the new spirit of reconciliation, forgiveness and dialogue being offered by the governor.
Metuh, however, urged the APC to be constructive in opposition, adding, “APC, as the party in opposition in Ekiti State, should strive to be constructive rather than destructive, as opposition does not in anyway mean destruction in a democracy.”
Commending governor Fayose for extending hands of friendship to the lawmakers and his detractors, the PDP described such an act as the mark of a true leader committed to peace and the welfare of his people.
Metuh said: “Governor Fayose’s new posture is a step in the right direction geared towards achieving the much desired peace and development in the interest of the masses who freely gave him their mandate.
“It is in this spirit that we charge all political stakeholders in Ekiti State, especially the APC lawmakers, to embrace peace and work with their governor to move their state forward. The unity, stability and progress of the state must be paramount and placed over and above all personal and group interests at all times.”
The PDP also praised the people of Ekiti State for standing up in defence of the mandate they gave to Governor Fayose while urging them to ensure that all their actions and utterances fall within the ambit of the law and the tenets of democracy.
Metuh, there should be an end to touts, Fayose is not worth being a governor of any state in Nigeria, he should go. #bringbackourgirls
