The Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described former governor Ayodele Fayose as a betrayer.
The party further warned Fayose to rather leave PDP than
ridiculing the party in public.
This is coming hours after Fayose during his appearance on
Channels TV claimed that PDP is dead.
Condemning Fayose’s comment in a statement made available, the Chairman, Caretaker Committee of PDP in Ekiti State,
Dare Adeleke, stated that Fayose has repeatedly betrayed the party that made
him governor twice.
Adeleke maintained that the former governor’s actions in the
last few years, especially his consistent endorsement of the APC government in
the state, were acts of betrayal that would no longer be condoned.
He alleged that “Fayose’s reason for betraying the party was
after his attempts to takeover the party structure in Ekiti were resisted by
leaders and members”.
Adeleke argued that the former governor has lost political
relevance in the state, which he said has made it difficult for people
especially party officials and leaders to join him in undermining the PDP in
Ekiti.
“Why has Fayose refused to leave the same party he
repeatedly described as a carcass and dead entity?
“Eventually, he admitted he was a bitter and disgruntled man
who betrayed his own party simply because he didn’t get what he wanted. He is
like a soldier who repeatedly sells secrets to the enemy and then complains
about not getting promoted, Fayose wants rewards from the same party he
undermines.
“He admitted on air that he supported Tinubu because he’s
his friend and kinsman, as if Nigeria now runs on tribal sentiment and ruled by
clannish association not merit.
“The fact is that Fayose lobbied for control of two local
government executives and was rightly denied. If Fayose was truly as
politically influential as he claims, he would have moved PDP’s structure in
Ekiti to APC or ADC. But not one ward or LGA chairman has followed him.”
Adeleke expressed optimism that PDP would capture the state
from the ruling APC government in next year’s poll, saying, “I assure Fayose,
the father and grandfather of betrayal, that the PDP, which he now refers to as
“they,” remains strong. We will mobilize true party loyalists, not his APC and
ADC-bound jokers who will remain irrelevant back-benchers.
“Let it be known, the PDP will win Ekiti State and I am
emphatic about this.”
