In a statement released on Friday, January 28, the Ekiti Political Intervention Coalition, a group concerned delegates and party members and seen by Legit.ng, the groups said the winner of the PDP primary election is a makeshift candidate planted by the Ekiti former governor, Ayodele Fayose.

The groups said the Ayu-led leadership of the PDP national working committee has continued to remain insensitive, clueless and lacks the intelligence to unravel an open secret dump by Fayemi and others.
According to the group, the plan by Ayu and his team to expel Senator Biodun Olujimi from the party over the pending suits instituted by the repositioning group will not stop the defeat of the PDP in Ekiti.
The statement read in party:
"We shall encourage Senator Olujimi to drag the suits until after the PDP Presidential convention to teach the party a lifetime lesson.
"Same Fayose they are supporting once connived with Uche Secondus and planted surrogates to stop the national convention that produced the new NWC; If the PDP could reward his compromised aspirant with a ticket, then Olujimi has a good reason to continue."
APC is no match for PDP in seeking power in Ekiti state?
The groups further noted that the APC does not settle for less when it desires power in a particular state or region and there is a clear likelihood that the PDP is on its way to defeat.
It said:
"But pictures have surfaced showing Fayose with Fayemi and Gov Udom Emmanuel in a mood that betrayed PDP party members’ confidence, and it was a show of shame."
The groups added that the PDP primary election in the state witnessed the mutilation and exclusion of delegates’ names from the register, the deliberate disenfranchisement of many automatic delegates who were accredited but denied tags and prevented from voting among many others.
It added:
"The Akwa Ibom governor also diminished his leadership by allowing the aides of Fayose to sit in the hall purposely to monitor and intimidate delegates.
“The Ekiti PDP Governorship primary was a charade, and it fell short of a free and fair process."
