My Suspension, A Cancellation of PDP in Ekiti State – Fayose

There seems to be no end in sight to the crises rocking the Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party as former Governor Ayo Fayose describes his suspension as the cancellation of PDP in the state.
>
> Earlier today at a newsbriefing, the party’s chairman, Makanjuola Ogundipe, had suspended Fayose indefinitely.
>
> Others suspended alongside Fayose are the secretary, TKO Aluko, Women Leader, Mrs. Busola Oyebode, and PRO, Pastor Oluwawole.
>
> Reacting to his suspension, Fayose, who is one of the 23 governorship aspirants in the Ekiti PDP, said the action meant the “outright cancellation of the
> entire PDP in Ekiti State.’’
>
> “This is not only laughable but ignoble; suspending Fayose is like suspending PDP in Ekiti.
>
> “It is the national leadership of PDP, not Ogundipe, that can suspend Fayose who toiled to
> make the party occupy its present position as a major opposition party in the state today.
>
> “Fayose is an institution that cannot be excised from a party like PDP,” he said.
>
> It would be recalled that thugs said to be loyal to some of the PDP governorship aspirants besieged the party secretariat last Tuesday with cutlasses, knifes and guns, wounding many in the process.
>
> One of those who had a taste of the thugs’ brutality and animalistic prowess was a former Speaker and Legal Adviser of the PDP in Ekiti State, Kola Adefemi, who was drenched in his own blood after a sour encounter with the thugs.
