Ekiti 2014: South Screening Committee is Fraudulent-Omoyeni

Abuja, February 24, 2014:  A leading Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Governorship Aspirant in Ekiti State, Mr. Bisi Omoyeni, has condemned the  composition and outcome  of a consensus committee of the group of Aspirants from Ekiti South Senatorial District, saying the committee was grossly compromised and masterminded by a few self-serving individuals.
In a statement made available to journalists in Abuja by Yemi Akinbode, the Director of Media & Publicity of BOFER-Bisi Omoyeni Campaign Organization, Omoyeni described the committee as kangaroo and its work stage-managed and fraudulent.
According to the statement, the composition of the committee was fraudulently skewed as no representation of the party sat on the committee as originally agreed by all the aspirants, adding that the original members were surreptitiously schemed out of the assignment; with four out of seven members intentionally misinformed about the date of the meeting.
Incidentally, the four that were prevented from participating are members of the Ekiti PDP State executive who were to represent the party structure.
The statement added “our participation in the botched consensus process was based on trust and the strong believe in the collective interest of the southern senatorial district, an area that has never produce the Governor of Ekiti since its creation. We also thought we were dealing with credible, sincere and transparent group of people. But the event of Monday has shown that the Dr. Tae-Lawal led-committee is not only fraudulent and self-serving, the members are cheap and mischievous, as demonstrated by their total neglect of the template and guidelines originally drawn by all the aspirants”.
Omoyeni assures his teeming supporters of his continued commitment to all genuine plans and processes of the PDP that will lead to the emergence of a sellable flag-bearer in the upcoming governorship election in Ekiti State.
He urges the members of the public to disregard the outcome of the committee’s meeting in its entirety, adding that, “with the antecedents of the members, nothing credible and good can come from their kangaroo committee”.
