A Peoples Democratic Party group in Ekiti State, the PDP Patriots, has advised the party and presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to be wary of membership of the Atiku/PDP Campaign Committee in the state.
“Whoever will direct the Atiku campaign in Ekiti must be a personality with the ability to rally round these three groups and not a former governorship candidate suggested by former Governor Fayose.
“For effective result, whoever will direct the campaign in Ekiti must be appealing to more than half of the 67,000 persons who had since parted ways with the PDP following the governorship primaries in 2022,” he said. The PDP Patriots advised Atiku to avoid a repeat of what happened in the party in the state during the governorship campaign when the All Progressives Congress and the SDP completely overshadowed the PDP media team due to high handedness, lack of reinforcement and support which were needed to boost the morale of team members.
“It was on that note that half of the PDP media team members resigned their appointment within a week into the commencement of the gubernatorial campaigns. The people at present nominated by the former governor for the committee are not capable,” Akinpelu stated.All rights reserved.
