The Senator representing the Oyo South district in the ninth national Assembly, Dr. Mohammed Kola Balogun has described former Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Peter Ayodele Fayose as a nuisance who can only attract like minds with disputable characters, Southwest-frontier News reports.
According to the press release by his Media Aide, Senator Balogun describes Mr Fayose as a divisive element who has always been insubordinate, rebellious and arrogant. The antecedents of Mr Fayose show that he has ulterior motive and is the APC agent in PDP; time will confirm the suspicions.
“The Southwest PDP caucus in the ninth Assembly held a meeting and unanimously reaffirmed Governor Seyi Makinde as the Southwest leader of the PDP and the said meeting was Chaired by Senator Akinyelure of Ondo central district. So, it’s not issue of Governor Makinde affirming himself as the leader in the Southwest zone, it’s what the party confers and reaffirmed by the elected officials. When Fayose was the Southwest leader of the party, he was not the oldest or most experienced politician in the zone but it is the party’s culture to ascribe leadership to the most senior elected official and that’s not dependent on anyone’s opinion. It’s his sinister motive and mischief that are responsible for his vituperation”.
It is important to note that former Governor Fayose is running from the EFCC and since his Governorship immunity expired, he has stopped attacking the President and romancing the ruling party, making efforts to cause distability within the PDP.
Senator Kola Balogun concluded by admonishing the people to regard comments from Mr Fayose as one from APC faction in PDP and their intentions are no longer hidden from the enlightened mind.
