A pressure group in the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party operating under the aegis of ‘Professionals in Osun PDP’ has warned the former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, to stay off the affairs of the party in the state.
The call was made in a statement made available to journalists in Osogbo on Friday by the group’s chairman, Sam Segun-Progress, following Fayose’ allegations concerning the party’s flagbearer, Adedamola Adebayo.
The group said the allegations against the party flagbearer on TVC by Fayose are another manifestation of the ex-Ekiti governor’s disdain for the Osun PDP.
In the said interview, Fayose was alleged to have made disparaging comments about the Osun PDP flagbearer, Adebayo.
Displeased by the act, Segun-Progress further said, “Our group is not interested in the lies of the former governor concerning the party’s candidate on TVC since the flag bearer’s lawyers are dealing with the defamatory remarks.
“Mr Fayose has a record of not supporting Osun PDP. We recall that Mr Fayose did not support Senator Iyiola Omisore, our candidate in 2014 governorship election. He tacitly supported APC candidate then, Mr Rauf Aregbesola. He was also nowhere to be found in 2017 during the West Senatorial by-election, which was won by Senator Ademola Adeleke.
“As Yoruba people raised with the Omoluabi ethos, we won’t disrespect Mr. Fayose but we want to plead with him to stay away from Osun PDP and allow us manage the rebuilding process we have started,” he posited.
