Aftermath of Ekiti PDP Congress: Olujimi’s faction vows not to use property allegedly owned by Fayose as party secretariat it


Following the outcome of Saturday’s, August 29 State Congress of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, which produced two chairmen and other executives from each of the two conflicting groups in the State, the newly elected State Executive of the Party, led by Hon Kehinde Odebunmi, has vowed not to use the property allegedly owned by former Governor Ayodele Fayose as party Secretariat.

The two groups, with Fayose and Olujimi as leaders, have been flexing muscles over the control of the party’s structures in the State, hence, the lingering crisis rocking the party.
The new chairmen, Hon. Bisi Kolawole, emerged from the group loyal to Governors Ayodele Fayose and Segun Oni, while, Hon. Kehinde Odebunmi, was elected from the group loyal to Senator Biodun Olujimi.

Odebunmi, in a statement by the State Publicity Secretary, Sanya Adesua, on Sunday, August 30, in Ado-Ekiti, declared that ” the newly elected State Executive of the People’s Democratic Party led by Hon Kehinde Odebunmi has vowed not to use the property of Mr Ayodele Fayose which was hitherto the party’s Secretariat as its operational office.

“The building is being surreptitiously exchanged for the New Secretariat of the party which has been sold by the former Governor.

“The temporary office can therefore no more serve as the PDP secretariat with the controversy surrounding it.
“Meanwhile, the party will announce its new office as soon as possible.”
He charged that all members of the party should be see themselves as one family, as all the affairs of the party will derive from them.

Odebunmi, however, clarified that the People’s Democratic Party power absolutely belongs to the people and not to any egocentric individual.

....Vows to take action on criminals  I receive daily security reports on the attacks on critical national infrastructure, and it is very clear that those behind them want this administration to fail. Whoever wants the destruction of the system will soon have the shock of their lives. We’ve given them enough time. I received a briefing today from the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on the series of attacks on their facilities nationwide. These attacks are totally unacceptable, and we will not allow those behind them to achieve their evil objectives. I have assured INEC that we will make available to them everything they need to operate efficiently, so that no one will say we don’t want to go, or that we want a third term. There will be no excuse for failure. We will meet all of INEC’s demands. In the area of security, we have changed the Service Chiefs and the Inspector-General, and we are demanding that they rise fully to the challenge...
