Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele
Fayose, has described the chairmanship of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff,
in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a mistake.
Fayose, who noted: “I take
responsibility for that? I will not be in the forefront again
to carry responsibility for any man” but pointed out that “he will first
seek the face of God to choose the right man for the people.”
Fayose, made the remarks at the
weekend , in his speech while commenting on the chairmanship tour of Dr.
Raymond Dopespi, to Ekiti State at the Jibowu Hall, Government House.
He said the PDP in Ekiti is deeply
concern on the current situation of the party right now, saying the party has
broken into factions because everybody wants to be masters in the party.
Fayose, who condemned those going to
court to express their grievances on party matters, also condemned those
who are paying lip services to the party.
He pointed out that the “dry bones
of the PDP will rise again”, saying “God will give the PDP
a new leader that will reposition the party to progress in the country.
Fayose said: “In Ekiti, we have no
anointed candidate; we would come to Port Harcourt with open
mind and let God do justice”
In his speech, while
soliciting for support in Ekiti, the PDP chairmanship aspirant, Dokpesi,
pleaded with the stakeholders to allow him to serve the party.
According to him, he is a leader, a
transformer and a bridge builder, who will promote, protect and project the PDP
by
bringing freshness into the party.
Dokpesi said the APC
since the last general election has not allowed the PDP
leaders to rest, he urged the PDP to stand and defend the democracy in the
country.
“The leader who believed in the
people, that is the leader we need in our democracy.”
He later debunked the insinuation
that he had step-down for Chief Bode George. I am still in the race, at
no time have I step down for Chief Bode George. We need fresh blood to
run the PDP. I will stand by you and defend the PDP.
The PDP chairman in Ekiti, Gboyega
Oguntuase, appreciates the aspirant adding that God would support his ambition.
Dokpesi’s tour of Ekiti, is the 17
states he has visited by road and last in the southern part of the country.
