Ekiti guber: PDP candidate dismisses alleged rift with Fayose

By Temitope Adedeji

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in Ekiti State, Hon. Bisi Kolawole has reiterated that no individual can come between him former Governor Ayo Fayose.

He dismissed rumour of rift between him and Fayose, who is the leader of the party in the state.

In a statement, which he personally signed, Kolawole described write-ups being circulated on social media that he said campaign funds should not be released to Fayose as the handiwork of those who are threatened by the impending victory of the PDP in the governorship election.

He said: “Our leader, Ayo Fayose is the one who has by himself financed this project of returning PDP to power in Ekiti State till this moment. By the power of God, he is the one that will finance it to a victorious end.

“We can only keep praying that God will give him more strength because to me, he is God sent.”

Kolawole said that the party will use Fayose’s achievements while in office as governor to convince Ekiti people about PDP’s ability to deliver on electoral promises. 

He said that those thinking they can cause rift between him and Fayose can continue.

“We in the PDP family are not bothered because we already know their antics. And because they have nothing to tell the people, they must keep lying  just as they did before the primary election that they lost woefully.

“Before now, it was campaign vehicles of our local hovernment voordinators that they said were withdrawn. But when this did not fly because the public are still seeing the coordinators with their vehicles, performing their functions in their various local councils, they shifted to another lie.

“I am sure that by tomorrow, they will tell another lie now that this one has been bursted just like their previous ones.

“PDP members and supporters are therefore urged to keep ignoring all the lies from our detractors and focus on delivering Ekiti State to our party come June 18,” he added.
