Ayodele Fayose Starts Campaign To Win Oyo For PDP

Newly elected Governor of Ekiti, Ayodele Fayose, held a rally with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders yesterday, July 9, at Watershed Events’ Centre, Old Ife Road, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

Before the rally, PDP stakeholders at the Premier Hotel, Ibadan held a meeting on Tuesday night, which started at about 9.30pm and lasted for over four hours.

Tagged the PDP Southwest “thank you” sensitisation rally, party leaders spoke on the need to regain power from the ruling All Progressive Party (APC) in Osun, Oyo, Lagos and Ogun states.

Chairman, PDP Southwest Mobilisation and Organisation Committee for 2015 Presidential Election, Prince Buruji Kashamu, former Oyo State Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala and Senator Brimo Yusuf were present at the rally. The PDP leaders urged unity among members.

Fayose told the gathering that unless members worked together, the desire to regain power in Oyo State would be a mirage.

He said: "My coming here is not personal; it’s not targeted at anyone… If the party fails to come together and work in unity and follow due process, it will fail to win the governorship election in this state. The party should steer clear of imposition of candidates."

In a veiled reference to recent attacks on Jonathan by a former President, Fayose said: "Give Jonathan peace of mind to work. When they were there, nobody disparaged them like that."

"This is the last time and should be the last time that anybody in this party will disparage Mr. President or the PDP. If you disparage this party, we will sack you. We will suspend you whether you are a former president, former governor or former senator," he added.
