The 2018 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State and the former deputy of the state, Professor Kolapo Olusola-Eleka has congratulated the newly elected executives of the party in the state.
The State party congress was conducted on Saturday where two the former Ekiti State governors, Ayodele Fayose and Segun Oni attended.
In the congresses, a former Commissioner for Environment, Honourable Bisi Kolawole emerged as the chairman of the party.
The former deputy governor, while congratulating the new party leaders, he implored them to imbibe the spirit of godliness, teamwork and discipline in the process of discharging their duties.
As contained in the congratulatory message which was personally signed by Prof Kolapo Olusola Eleka, he stated that PDP remains indivisible in Ekiti.
According to him, “PDP remains the best party in Nigeria. Regardless of our differences, Ekiti PDP remains united and indivisible; and by the grace of God, we shall soon reclaim our stolen seat in Ekiti State”.
Equally, Prof Eleka congratulated the newly sworn-in State Chairman, Hon. Bisi Kolawole and underlined his strong belief in his leadership capacity to unite ‘all’ and mobilize the needed popular support for the party towards achieving its set goals and vision.

“As the DG Kolapo Olusola Campaign Organisation in 2018, Bisi Kolawole introduced some innovations which added beautiful colours to our campaign. He is a goal-getter and was always proactive in his strategies throughout the campaign despite the tough condition under which he operated then”, Eleka noted.
The politician and technocrat, who said, personality and other variables are lubricating oil for the revolution that brought about the hegemony of political parties, also encouraged elected excecutive to maintain a balance between various interests in the party and the current tasks before them, imploring them to be good ambassadors of the party in all ramifications.
Eleka, however, commended the outgone leadership of the PDP Caretaker Committee and former Governor Peter Ayodele Fayose for defending the integrity of the party and for making sure that the party is returned to the hands of a democratically elected leadership.
