A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Ekti State,
Funmi Ogun, has rejected her nomination as party’s deputy governorship
candidate.
Ogun was Commissioner for Works during ex-Governor Ayo
Fayose’s second term of office.
Her February 24, 2022 letter, entitled “Re: My Nomination as
Deputy Governorship candidate’’, was addressed to the National Chairman,
Iyorchia Ayu.
Ogun informed Ayu that she was aware Ekiti stakeholders
submitted her name for the June 18 gubernatorial election.
“Notwithstanding their good intentions, I formally write to
reject the nomination for personal reasons.
“However, I appreciate the uncommon recognition and I assure
the party that no effort will be spared at ensuring our victory at the
election,’’ she noted.
NAN quoted the politician saying the letter was not meant to
slight anyone.
She complained that after the endorsement and nomination to
the PDP national leadership, the latter failed to act.
Ogun said she wrote the memo so as not to be on a collision
course with party heads.
“I have written this letter while awaiting the reaction of
our leader, Ayo Fayose and the national leaders. This doesn’t suggest any
trouble in Ekiti State PDP”, the chieftain assured.
