…says PDP Will Unseat Oyebanji
The governorship candidate of African Democratic Congress in the 2022 Ekiti State Governorship Elections, Dr Wole Oluyede, has accepted the invitation to join the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
The Australia-based medical practitioner was formerly received into the PDP at his hometown in Ikere-Ekiti on Friday.
Oluyede explained that he accepted the invitation to join the PDP after the party came to woo him regretting that Ekiti has been beclouded in darkness and that the PDP will restore light to the State.
His words: “It is time to stop bad governance in Ekiti and build Ekiti. The people that came here today have only asked me to join the party. I have not declared to run for the governorship position. I have challenged the PDP to go back and build the party.
“Everybody should take Wole Oluyede off the look. I am not looking for any personal thing. What I am looking for is the growth of Ekiti and Nigeria.
“Spending federal government allocation is not God ordained and we will not prosper in it. The day Ekiti started spending federal government allocation, without production or contributing anything, that was the beginning of our problem. it is a wrong premise and we need to change it. We have to start producing.”
Speaking at the event, former Chairman of the PDP in Ekiti State, Chief Gboyega Oguntuase said the State is in dire need of a political saviour to salvage the catastrophe in the State.
According to him, “we are aware that the history of Ekiti State is filled with misrule and ill-governance and we are desperate in having a person for a new Ekiti State.
“All our leaders that are committed in having a new Ekiti State are here. Ekiti needs somebody that is spotless and that person has been spotted.”
Also, a former Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Kolawole Oluwawole said that Oluyede is God sent while urging members of the party not to betray him but support him.
The event witnessed party faithful from the 16 local governments of the State while new caretaker committee of the party was constituted.
