Former members of the Federal House of Representatives from Ekiti State under the flagship of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has warned the Senator representing Ekiti South senatorial district, Biodun Olujimi to desist from supporting abusers of the leadership of the party, especially the National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus.
The former National Assembly members also urged the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to conduct the outstanding local Government and State congresses without delay.
The former House of Representatives members which includes Kehinde Agboola, Segun Adekola, Ayodele Oladimeji and Thadeus Aina, said ” we are all major stakeholders in our Federal Constituencies. We were members of the House of Representatives and some of us were candidate in the rigged elections in 2019. Therefore, no one, including Olujimi can claim control over our own Federal Constituencies.
“Olujimi must perish the idea that she represents everybody and stop being an ingrate to our benefactor, while she goes about hobnobbing with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State.
“We condemn her actions in entirety and we wish to state that whoever that is thinking about bringing our leader and benefactor, former Governor Ayodele Fayose to the negotiating table with Olujimi should perish that idea.
“Fayose remains our leader and it is a known fact that it was through him that we, including Olujimi climbed the political ladder to the level that we are today. If she feels that after using the ladder of Fayose to climb to where she is, what she must do is to destroy the ladder, we are not part of her rebellion and this is being placed on record.”
“In Ekiti PDP, there is no tradition of sharing party positions and it won’t start now.
“Even in 2012 when contest for the State chairmanship was so close that it ended with 318 votes for the winner as against 310 by the other group, the group that won the chairmanship went on to take all the State exco positions. Two years after, PDP returned to power with landslide victory in the Governorship election.
“Therefore, Olujimi begging around for sharing of positions will not work. She should rather retrace her steps, show remorse and apologise for her rebbelion.”
