The gulf within the Ekiti State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party in Ekiti State widened on Thursday as the former governor Ayodele Fayose and Senator Biodun Olujimi inaugurated parallel ward executives.
While the Fayose-led PDP on Thursday inaugurated members of the PDP ward EXCO in 155 out of the 177 wards in Ekiti State with the swearing-in supervised by a notary public, Niyi Idowu, the Senator Biodun Olujimi-led group inaugurated its parallel ward excos on Friday in the presence of party elders. The PDP state Chairman, Oguntuase, refuse to conduct the inauguration excercise, claiming no directives were given to him from the party’s National Secretariat.
He said the new party officers had assumed office for a tenure of four years in accordance with the party’s constitution. “I wish to state that up till today, I have not received any letter from anywhere directing me to do any swearing-in for anybody. Even if I receive one now, the directive of the dejure governor of the state concerning social distancing will impede any gathering and swearing-in,” he said.
It stated that the purported swearing-in was an abberation that does not has basis in the law, adding the excercise flagrantly negated the provisions of the party’s constitution.
