Ahead of the forthcoming Gubernatorial Election in Ekiti State, a youth group in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), under the umbrella of “EKITIKETE Youths Alliance” has appealed to its National Chairman, Dr Iyocha Ayu to call some of Its chieftains to order over their alleged anti-Party activities.
This the group said is expedient and instructive if the Party is serious about reclaiming the state from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
In a statement titled, “Save PDP in Ekiti State now” made available to newsmen on Sunday by its Convener, Prince Segun Okangi they said, “We are concerned members of the Party across all the Wards in the state and we are impressed by the immense supports we are receiving from the people of the state and we are very sure that our Party, the PDP is set to regain its lost glory in the state come the next gubernatorial Election in the state.
“But we are however taken aback by some recent ugly developments in which some of the Chieftains of our great Party are romancing with the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), especially the state Governor Dr John Kayode Fayemi.
“Our findings have revealed that even the state Governor through a former Governor who is a member of PDP is sponsoring some of our Governorship Aspirants for his own selfish interest. As a matter of fact, the self acclaimed “leader of the party” in the state has been collecting 10 million Naira from the Apc led Government in the State for the past 6 months to destabilize the PDP activities in the state.
“A rider to that was the sneaking to the APC government house of one of Fayose’s ally, and a supposed Governorship aspirant in the State on the 31st of December, 2021.
“The aspirant who equally pretends to be a leader of one the warring groups in Ekiti tagged repositioning. He came out of the Government House with bags of money for himself and his boss, Governor General.
“Sir, we are speaking out now because we don’t want to waste this very ample opportunity to reclaim the state back from the APC as our people are tired of the situation in the state and are yearning for a change and the alternative is the PDP
“Sir, don’t allow the Lagos and Abuja Politicians to deceive you about the true happening in Ekiti State.We appeal to you to please listen to our outcry now and conduct your own independent findings on our claim so as to guide you.
“We have documentary evidence with photographs of these leaders involved in anti-Party activities to sabotage our chances of reclaiming the state back at the polls this 2022.
“Please, don’t ignore our petition now, we have qualified, tested and trusted men and women of integrity amongst our aspirants that can win the election for our great Party, all we are asking for is that your National Working Committee, NWC, should be vigilant and watch your back.
“We should be careful of Saboteurs parading themselves as PDP Messiah. PDP has defeated APC before and we can do it again once the political merchants in our party are caged.:
