The state party congress was conducted on Saturday where two the former Ekiti State governors, Ayodele Fayose and Segun Oni attended.
Speaking at the congress, Fayose warned the party members against indiscipline and disloyalty that were common features among politicians, saying, “PDP was robbed in 2018, but 2022 is another day.”
He explained there was no crack within the party and that the National Working Committee (NWC) was in support of the congress held by his group, saying those aggrieved in the party should retrace their steps and join him in building a strong opposition party.
According to him, “Let me tell our members that loyalty pays over time. Let us continue to be loyal.
“All delegates, we welcome and salute you. You could all see all that are set here for this congress. There is no crack in Ekiti PDP. I would have been surprised if Engr Segun Oni has not been here today.
“Those with party positions, please, respect your leaders, because it will not be business as usual.
“We are prepared to support the new executives for them to succeed. I am not looking for senate position or anything, but I am standing for the PDP in order not to destroy it.
“If you are elected, please, be responsible and respectful to leaders.”
Obviously referring to his crisis with Olujimi, Fayose added, “5,000 Senators or House Of Representatives members does not amount to any governor or former governor. There must be respect for each other at the party. ”
