Ekiti PDP moves to expel Fayose

The Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has recommended the expulsion of former Governor of the state, Ayodele Fayose, for allegedly acting against the party’s interests in the state

Speaking during a press briefing on Sunday in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, the state PDP Caretaker Chairman, Dare Adeleke, said the call for Fayose’s expulsion was due to his alleged anti-party activities and misconduct, including his public endorsement of Governor Biodun Oyebanji.

He explained that the recommendation for Fayose’s expulsion was part of the submissions made to the Tom Ikimi-led Disciplinary Panel and the Olagunsoye Oyinlola Reconciliation Committee.

Adeleke spoke in reaction to a statement by Fayose on a television programme that PDP was dead in Ekiti State.

On Saturday, the former governor, while inaugurating the Dehead/Faglo Road and electrification project recently completed, reiterated his support for the second term bid of Oyebanji of the All Progressives Congress.

Fayose said to Oyebanji, “I am very proud of you. You have done well. We will continue to be with you. You have gone far in terms of development. Let me wait for that person who will say you have not done well. I am going to stand by you”.

However, Adeleke stated that Fayose’s action had embarrassed the PDP and could mislead the public about the party’s true values.

Adeleke urged the national leadership to expel Fayose and his allies, warning that keeping them in the PDP would be detrimental, as their loyalty no longer lies with the party.
