Hon. Bisi Kolawole, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Ekiti state, has underlined that no one can come between him and the state’s party leader, former Governor Ayo Fayose, denying rumors of a breach between them.
In a statement issued by him on Thursday, Kolawole described write-ups circulating on social media claiming that campaign funding should not be released to Fayose as the product of individuals who are intimidated by the PDP’s probable governorship election triumph.
In his words, “Our leader, Ayo Fayose, is the one who has by himself financed this project of returning the PDP to power in Ekiti state till this moment. By the power of God, he is the one that will finance it to a victorious end.
“We can only keep praying that God will give him more strength because to me, he is a God sent.
Even while seeking votes from Ekiti people, we will use his achievements while in office as governor to convince the people about our ability to deliver on our electoral promises.
“Those who are writing, thinking they can cause rift between us can continue, we in the PDP family are not bothered because we already know their antics. And because they have nothing to tell the people, they must keep lying just as they did before the primary election that they lost woefully.
“Before now, it was campaign vehicles of our Local Government Coordinators that they said were withdrawn. But when this did not fly because the public are still seeing the coordinators with their vehicles, performing their functions in their various local councils, they shifted to another lie.
“I am sure that by tomorrow, they will tell another lie now that this one has been bursted just like their previous ones.
“PDP members and supporters are therefore urged to keep ignoring all the lies from our detractors and focus on delivering Ekiti state to our party come June 18.”
