Ekiti 2022: PDP Group Wants Ad-Hoc Congresses Cancelled

A pressure group, Ekiti Political Intervention Coalition (EPIC), has asked the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyorchia Ayu, to “immediately cancel the botched PDP Three-Ad-hoc delegates congress.

“For the PDP to rescue and rebuild Nigeria, the process must begin from within, and the National Chairman must be bold in taking decisions that will salvage the party in Ekiti State,” said EPIC In a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Banji Dada.

The group is also asking why the party has continued to indulge what it described as the excesses of former Gov Ayodele Fayose, who is not an aspirant in the coming party primaries.

“We want Chairman Ayu to know that a party that wants to rescue and rebuild Nigeria will not be indulging a man who attempted to truncate the last National Convention of the PDP through his cronies but failed.

Meanwhile, the EPIC group has suggested some measures the PDP can take to salvage the political process in Ekiti State.

The group called for the adoption of the Anambra option for the Ekiti PDP governorship primaries as a win-win solution for all the aspirants, noting that the use of only automatic delegates for the process is the only condition that could assuage all concerns about the congresses.

The group also tasked the party to read the riot act to Fayose, saying that his actions could jeopardise the chances of the PDP in Ekiti and Osun governorship elections and the 2023 General Election.

“PDP Governors should not gather in vain while a man they have repeatedly indulged and tolerated is throwing an invasive spanner in the wheel of the party ahead of future elections.

“The best option left for the PDP now is to use the automatic delegates list only for the party primaries on January 26, 2022, as the inclusion of delegates from the botched ad-hoc congress and the litigation encumbered party executives.

“We urge the party to set up a discrete investigation to unravel what the people in Ekiti can see, but it is yet to know about the activities of Fayose because it will spell doom for 2023,” the PDP group added.
