Olusola Fabiyi, Abuja

The Peoples Democratic Party has told Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State not to waste his resources on his presidential ambition, saying the party’s candidate for the 2019 election will come from the North.

The party said all its members were aware of the zoning formula it adopted for both its presidential ticket and the position of the national chairman.

Fayose had sent letters to some leaders of the party to inform them about his decision to run for the Presidency on the platform of the PDP.



The event, according to a copy of the letter sent to our correspondent, will hold in Abuja on Thursday.

The letter was signed by the governor under the banner of Ayo Fayose Presidential Campaign Organisation.

It read in part, “My dear leader, it is with deep sense of responsibility that I write to inform you of my intention to seek the ticket/mandate of our party to contest the 2019 presidential election, considering your support and commitment towards our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party, it becomes imperative to keep you informed and seek your support.

“This ambition is however without prejudice to our party’s position, but in the overall interest of the party and our country.

“I urge that all hands should be on deck to ensure victory in our quest to return to the Presidential Villa, Abuja in 2019.”

Expressing surprise at the action of the governor, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, called on Fayose to respect the decisions taken by the party on zoning.

He wondered why Fayose would want to disobey the party despite his position as a leader, who he said, was also present at the national convention where the decisions were taken.

Adeyeye, who spoke exclusively to our correspondent on the issue said, “The highest organ of the party, which is the national convention, zoned the presidential ticket of the PDP to the North. That has not changed. The same national convention zoned the position of the national chairman to the South. The convention has yet to change any of these two.

“That (national convention) is the supreme organ of the party. Those decisions are binding on all members of the party. Nobody can alter these decisions.”

“The governor is a member of the party and was at the convention where these decisions were taken. As a leader of the party, one expected the governor to respect the party and its decisions. If someone in such an office is breaking the decisions of the party, what do you expect from the rank and file. “

Our correspondent gathered that Fayose had once visited the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the PDP, Walid Jibrin, at his residence in Abuja, where he solicited his support for his ambition.

As long as their candidate isn't Bullhari, I'm okay with it.

Atiku is the next president. Argue with your keypad.

l hate Sarki cos he is happy with the economic situation of nigeria. Going forward, this moniker will be dedicated to checkmating his gradual but unrelenting sociopolitical and economic madness.

Anti BMC activities mode fully engaged!

Why and why,PDP let Baba Put serve Nigerians bean

lol........lemme come and go and faint.

It is strange seeing PDP already towing the path of a second death before the general elections in 2019.

DickDastardLION:

You lot lack shame ... what kind of teachers wasted their precious time on you growing up? i pity parents too. No parent will be happy wasting tuition on raising a dumb kid. Lousy enemy of economic growth.

English teacher, next time, the letter "I" as used in first person singular must always be in upper case.

Who taught you English?

Also, find out the difference between proper and common nouns as well as how they are spelt in sentences.

I quite agree with you, some parents really wasted their hard earned resources.

Shatap. Your APC has misled Nigerians since they started thier rule. we haven't had a stable economic gains since this administration of your paymastwr started. Nigeria has been witnessing bad events ever since. Nothing productive will ever come out of this government. @2019 polls many will not vote APC.

The Truth becomes sweet after my finger is burnt.

These guys just wanna rob Nigerians of good quality comedy in 2019.

Smh.

fayose is a political comedian that relate all governance in entertainment and eye service


someone that once told ekiti NLC that he's joining them in the strike, how weird and comical can such fellow be



fayose for president even when there is nothing to show in Ekiti state. these politicians must think Nigerian political insight is retrogressing day by day

Aufbauh:
Fayose is only playing hide and seek game with his so called presidential ambition.

EKITIGATE is still fresh in our mind and still loading.......... @2018

His original intention is to settle for the vice presidency
