Why PDP May Lose Ekiti 2022 Governorship Poll—Olujimi
Former Minority leader, Senator Biodun Olujimi, has warned the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State may not be able to win the governorship election in 2022 if the party’s national leadership fails to reconcile contending groups in the chapter.
Olujimi said PDP has no luxury of time as political parties participating in the election ought to have conducted primaries to pick candidate by March 2022.
She stressed unless the Prince Uche Secondus-led PDP National Working Committee (NWC) commences genuine process of reconciliation, any attempt to delay further might spell doom for the party in the forthcoming governorship election.
She spoke on Sunday in Omuo-Ekiti, headquarters of Ekiti East Council area, while commissioning blocks of classrooms and distributing fertilizers and herbicides to farmers in Ekiti South.
Olujimi, in a statement in Ado-Ekiti, urged the party national leadership to take urgent steps to reconcile all contending groups in the state chapter or forget reclaiming Ekiti from the ruling All Progressive Congress in 2022
The Ekiti South Senator however cautioned former Governor Ayodele Fayose against placing curses on perceived opponent of his anointed candidate, Mr Bisi Kolawole, saying such action was not only unacceptable but condemnable.
She said that leaders in Ekiti ought to preach peace, love and reconciliation because winning elections require the support of all party men and women.
