Ekiti State governor-elect, Peter Ayodele Fayose, on Wednesday,
threatened that any rebellious member of the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) would henceforth be dealt with, irrespective of the
personality involved.
He said the party would welcome anybody willing to leave the party,
but insisted that it would no longer tolerate any of its members
disparaging the party while still clamouring to be a member no matter
the position of the person either in the present or in the past.
According to him, “the other time I was fighting the party, I left
it; I didn’t stay inside and be fighting. So, whoever is aggrieved for
whatever reason is allowed to leave, but, to think you can claim to be
in the party and be working against it will be met with stiff sanction;
nobody is bigger than the PDP”.
Fayose spoke on Wednesday at what could be termed a
‘thank-you-rally’ organised for him in Ibadan by the party in the
Southwest at Watershed Event Centre, Old Ife Road, where all the party’s
governorship aspirants in Oyo State gathered to speak about their
ambitions.
The Ekiti State governor-elect, who thanked the party supporters for
their solidarity with him in his struggle to become the first person to
defeat two incumbent governors at different times, said what happened
in Ekiti could be replicated in other states in the region with unity of
purpose among members.
He recalled that all the names given to him by his opponents in
Ekiti State either as a killer, fraudster and all sorts did not move the
people, as they insisted that they want him because of his connection
with the people at the grassroots.
