Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has
called for the zoning of the National
Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party to the
South-West region of the country.
According to him, it was the turn of the
region to produce the chairman since
presidency would return to the North in the
next general elections.
He spoke when an Ex-minister of the
Federal Capital Territory, Bala Mohammed,
paid him a visit on Sunday night to consult
him on his ambition to become the National
Chairman.
Mohammed, who was in Ekiti in company
with Ambassador Liya Damagon and a former
Special Adviser on Political Matters to Ex-
President Goodluck Jonathan, Ahmed Gulak,
met with Fayose behind closed-doors in Ado
Ekiti.
Asked if he was in Ekiti over his ambition
to contest for the seat, Mohammed said it
was no longer news that he was contesting
for the post.
Speaking with newsmen, Fayose said that
the time was not right for the party to
have a substantive chairman and that the
present care-taker Chairman, Mr. Uche
Secondus, should take charge for the next
five months to conclude the on-going
reorganisation in the party.
Fayose said, “I think the party needs the
caretaker committee now rather than a
substantive chairman.
“What I also wish to say again is that for
me, it is the turn of the Souh-West to be
the national chairman of the party.
“The South-west and the South-South have
had their turns (presidency) and of course
the next presidential candidate of the party
would be from the north. So I believe it is
the turn of the South-West to have the
National Chairman. We have to allow the
north in the party to begin to search for a
credible presidential candidate for the
party,” he said.
“Secondly, we need somebody who could
take his time and use this interregnum and
put the party into proper position. We do
not need somebody who is trying to just
finish the tenure of a former leader.
“The time we are now is quite a challenging
time and it is not a time for someone to say
he wants to just complete a tenure. We
should allow the caretaker committee to
take over and put proper elections in place
for new executives of the party.
“You would recall that I told Muazu he
has to go and he’s gone now. This time we
must entrust the party into the hands of
credible people who would not use it to
redeem their name or for personal gains. So,
to me, there isn’t much that a substantive
chairman can do in just five months now,”
Fayose said.
