Fayose, Olujimi, Inaugurate Parallel Campaign Councils For Atiku/obi by Ebullience(m): 11:08pm On Jan 08, 2019
Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose; and Senate Minority Leader, Senator Biodun Olujimi on Tuesday continued their hostility by inaugurating parallel campaign councils for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the ex-governor, in his capacity as the South West Coordinator of the Peoples Democratic Party campaign, inaugurated the council members in Ado Ekiti, in line with list of names reportedly approved by the national secretariat of the party.

However, Olujimi, representing Ekiti South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, at a different location in Ado Ekiti, inaugurated a parallel council.

In a petition to Uche Secondus, the party chairman, she accused Fayose of hijacking the council and injecting his cronies in all strategic positions with a view to sidelining other members of the party from participating in mobilising for the PDP presidential candidate during the election.

This, she said, was contrary to the list agreed to by party stakeholders and therefore, urged the National Working Committee to disband and reconstitute the council in the interest of all in the forthcoming elections.

Olujimi asked Secondus to compel Fayose to adhere strictly to the resolution reached by stakeholders on the composition of the council at a stakeholders’ meeting in Ado-Ekiti on December 28, 2018 to forestall crisis in the party ahead of the polls.

NAN reports that while the Olujimi inauguration took place at the Ajilosun area of the state capital and was attended by members of the party loyal to her, Fayose’s inauguration, on the other hand, took place at his former campaign office in Adebayo area of the state capital, now renamed Atiku/Obi campaign office.

The former governor, while inaugurating his version of the campaign council, described Olujimi’s effort a nullity.

He warned that he might use his position to mobilise the people to vote out those he described as ‘traitors’ in the coming election.

Olujimi is seeking re-election to the Senate in the election slated for March.

“They need me more than I need them, because in my own case, I have got nothing to lose as I am not contesting any elective position. We will ask our people to vote against these betrayers,” he said.

According to the former governor, the campaign council was carefully selected in agreement with the National Secretariat of the party to represent all shades of opinion in the state PDP.

In his remarks, the chairman of the campaign council for Fayose’s camp and former Deputy Governor, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, also distanced himself from the Olujimi campaign group.

Olusola said that the Olujimi council was illegitimate.

“There is no alternative campaign council except this one. Any other campaign council where my name appears outside the one inaugurated by our leader, the (ex-)governor, is illegal.”

The state PDP chairman, Mr. Gboyega Oguntuase, said the Fayose-led Council is the only legitimate body recognised by Abuja.

“This is the only legitimate gathering where authority resides. Any other gathering is illegal and illegitimate but we shall not be provoked,” Oguntuase said.

NAN reports that Olujimi, at the inauguration of her campaign council, said that injustice breeds impunity; adding that if the party stakeholders met and selected people, no individual, including Fayose, has the right to void same.

She said though she was not a party to the selection of the campaign council, she has the right to continue with the assignment.

NAN reports that the two inaugurations were well attended by chieftains of the party from the Senate, state House of Assembly, House of Representatives and former Local Government chairmen.

But Atiku is very useless o.
He has refused to drop money for this election.
People like Agbaje in Lagos are waiting for Atiku to release money and nothing is coming forth.

If there's no money, PDP would lose heavily in a few weeks. Even the old PDP members have refused to campaign for PDP since Atiku defected and refused to settle them.

SE that Atiku doesn't need to campaign, he's slapping the faces of all PDP bigwigs. Ekweremadu is suspiciously silent, Ugwuanyi ordered that a billboard showing him and Atiku be pulled down, Umahi is presently teaching Obi a lesson.

How would Atiku be diving votes in a region that WAS sure for him to win?

Come sef, are you sure they didn't send this Atiku to PDP to ensure PDP loses? That is what Tinubu does to PDP in Lagos every 4 years o!

I keep hearing this. As a party, PDP has not tried at all towards this Atiku campaign, seems everyone is just after his money. He has learnt lessons from Jonathan, where people collected monies and just diverted them.
This Atiku money may come later, like down to the electorates directly, I hope not too late. As it stands today APC has full advantage.

Olujimi the ungrateful woman. She became senator under the cover of the same Fayose. Those who were unhappy decamped early enough to APC and SDP respectively and PDP lost the election. The way it stands Olujimi will not return to the national assembly. Without Fayose she will.not go anywhere. I wonder what makes her feel so bitter like this. If she fails to return to the national assembly will she remain in the PDP with Fayose or decamp?
Fayose too is the number one reason PDP lost the election. Fayemi did not win by any majic. It was the refusal of Fayose to allow interested parties contest fairly and squarely. When he decamped from the PDP and was going up and down in political wilderness those people remained in the party. Fayose does not up till now show good leadership skills. He does not carry the same top people who will help the party in Ekiti state along.
