The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has vowed to stop former governor, Ayo Fayose from hijacking the party’s structure.
The party warned Fayose and his cohorts planning to take over the party to look elsewhere.
Speaking at the party’s stakeholders and leader meeting held in Ado-Ekiti, former PDP chairman, Gboyega Oguntuase, maintained that they were aware that the Fayose is a mole of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Oguntuase fumed that the party would never again allow the ex-governor to hijack the party and trade it for self aggrandizement
The former PDP chairman alleged that the APC is doing everything possible to sponsor individuals to take over the PDP and scuttle the chance of the opposition party in the 2026 governorship election.
He said, “The meeting is for members across the 16 LGAs in state; discussing and mapping out strategies on how we can stop some people from sabotaging Ekiti PDP and there is a consensus if PDP must be saved from those dealing with the party recklessly and without integrity, the only way is to adopt a chairman who has interest of the party.
“It is so clear that former governor, betrayed the party in the last elections in the state and he is unapologetic about those decisions and those things are elements of sabotage and we must stop those people from hijacking the party going forward.
“If truly we want to rescue the party, we must have a consensus on a chairman with integrity, who is vibrant and young ; who will not sell out the party and they have spoken that Funsho Ayeni should be picked.
“But we are not going to stop at that especially some few leaders who are not on same page with us on the basis of zoning, we will discuss with them that what is important now is to get viable chairman who will be able to stand on his own and will not compromise at the point of intimidation.
“So, after getting the governorship back to the PDP in 2026, then we can of course start zoning but zoning without the governorship seat we mean nothing.”
