Apart from endorsement of Kolawole as the preferred chairmanship candidate, the elders also endorsed the candidature of Mr. Joseph Omolase as the preferred secretary.
The factional Peoples Democratic Party’s Elders Caucus in Ekiti State has endorsed the adoption of Mr. Bisi Kolawole by the former governor, Ayodele Fayose, as the chairmanship candidate for the forthcoming congress slated for April 2.
Odeyemi allayed the fear that what the elders have done amounted to an imposition, saying: “We have to say, however that this endorsement by the elders does not foreclose the right to participate, which means the race is still open. Reacting to the development, Fayose said he supported Bisi Kolawole, who had just been endorsed by the elders of the party, to move the party forward.
“You must equally remember that politics is about interest. Parts of the interest embedded in this congress is the governorship contest that is ahead.” So I wont blame anybody for doing what they did. But don’t forget that I told them when Adeyeye was contesting that it would end in the midst of nowhere and it happen like that.
