As the
coming congress slated for April 2 in Ekiti State draws near, the chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected plan
by former governor Ayodele Fayose and some elders in the party to pick a
consensus candidate.
It was gathered that Fayose’s camp was making an arrangement to
scheme in favour of anointed chairmanship candidate, Bisi Kolawole, to emerge
as a consensus candidate in order to take over the party’s structure ahead of
the 2022 governorship election in the state.
PDP has for some time been polarised over the leadership issue
between Fayose and Senator Biodun Olujimi.
The Oguntuase-led SWC, in a statement yesterday by the party’s
Publicity Secretary, Mr Jackson Adebayo, said the plan was ill-motivated and
ill-conceived, describing it as unacceptable.
Fayose and his loyalists were said to have met on February 21 at
the home of one of the party’s leaders, Senator Clement Awoyelu, in Ado-Ekiti,
where the arrangement of a consensus chairmanship candidate was conceived.
