Ex-governor Fayose
The State Executive Committee (SEC) of the PDP in Ekiti State has dissociated itself from the purported stakeholders meeting which replaced former governor Ayodele Fayose with the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Biodun Olujimi, as leader of the party in the state.
The SEC therefore reaffirmed its stand with the former governor as the leader of the party in the state.
The SEC is the highest organ of the party in the state and it comprised of the State Working Committee, party chairmen and secretaries at local government and wards and elected public office holders among others.
The SEC, in a communiqué issued at the end of their meeting in Ado Ekiti, alleged that Olujimi and a former PDP state secretary, Dr. Tope Aluko, were agents of the APC commissioned to destabilize the PDP.
It would be recalled that Aluko had led some aggrieved PDP members to invade the party’s secretariat on Ajilosun Road, Ado Ekiti on Thursday during which they accused the state executive members of making suspicious withdrawals from the party’s account.
