Former Ondo state commissioner, Mr Eddy Olafeso, has said that Ayodele Fayose deserves commendation. He said that Fayose saved the Party from ruin during a past internal crisis and based on his past deeds, he (Fayose) remains the voice of the PDP in the south-west.
Elaborating on the power tussle between Oyo state’s Seyi Makinde and Ayodele Fayose, Olafeso addressed Fayose’s loyalists saying, “You can see that all the immediate past zonal executive members are represented here. We are here to thank our leader, Ayodele Fayose for his support.
“He(Fayose) is our leader. We believe in him. While others were panicking and fearful to criticize President Muhammadu Buhari, he was with us. He remained the only voice in the wilderness.
“Fayose rescued the PDP from those who wanted to ruin the party when the late Senator Buruji Kashamu took the party to court. It was Fayose as a governor that saved the party from total ruin.
“We are very sure that we will reposition the PDP in this zone. We have visited the other five states. No individual can appropriate the PDP in the southwest. Let us continue to support Fayose. We are very sure of victory and unity in the end.”
PDP factional chairman in Ekiti State, Hon Bisi Kolawole,added that the PDP really needs peace because it is crucial to the stability of the Party in the south-west. He promised that the Party will support the return of Olafeso as zonal vice-chairman.
