He said imposition of a governorship candidate could open way for the APC to grab power from PDP in the 2018 Ekiti election.

He said: “All PDP aspirants are all working together; that is the reason all of us should work together, I want to assure you that all aspirants in PDP minus the one that was adopted are working together.”

“Impunity, imposition of candidates, lawlessness and recklessness by those who should know the rules in our party must stop. This was responsible for the loss of our party in the 2015 general elections.

“We don’t want our state to be taken over by APC; we don’t want impunity, imposition and lawlessness in our party again and that is why we are demanding a free and fair primary.”

Going further, he urged the PDP national leadership to intervene in Ekiti.
