Ayodele Fayose, the former governor of Ekiti State, has shrugged off the Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) call for his expulsion, stating that Dare Adeleke, the party’s caretaker committee chairman, lacks the authority to make such a recommendation ¹. Fayose’s aide, Lere Olayinka, conveyed his boss’s indifference, questioning Adeleke’s power to expel him since his position as CTC chairman is being challenged in court.
The controversy surrounds Fayose’s public endorsement of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s second-term bid, despite being a member of the PDP, while Oyebanji is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Adeleke considers Fayose’s actions an affront to the PDP’s values and unity, misleading the public about what the party stands for ¹.
Adeleke has urged the national leadership to expel Fayose, citing his anti-party activities and misconduct. He also encouraged Fayose to officially defect from the PDP rather than secretly supporting an opposing party ¹.
Fayose’s response remains defiant, implying that Adeleke’s actions are inconsequential and that he will not be swayed by the caretaker committee chairman’s recommendations. The situation highlights the internal conflicts within the Ekiti State PDP, with Fayose’s loyalty being questioned and Adeleke seeking to strengthen the party’s unity.
