• As more PDP members defect

Former Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon. Adewale Omirin, has said Governor Ayodele Fayose’s alleged dictatorship in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been a blessing to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Omirin, who was the immediate past speaker, said the gale of defections that has hit the PDP in recent times confirmed the disenchantment of party members with the governor’s alleged winner-takes-all and domineering tendencies.

The ex-speaker spoke in Aisegba Ekiti in Gbonyin local government area at the weekend while receiving the former Secretary of the Council, Mr. Remi Osabusua and 39 other PDP chieftains into the APC.

Omirin said: “The likes of Senator Arise, Yinka Akerele, Ayodeji Babatola, Jolaade Onipede, Ropo Adesanya, and many others left the PDP, because we have a governor who has taken over the party and running a one-man show.

“Ekiti people, including PDP members are regretting for voting Fayose. He deceived the people that he had changed, but later turned out to be worse than before. All the leaders of the PDP had left with the exception of few who defected with the governor to Labour Party.

“No right-thinking person will stay in a party where the governor is the deputy of himself, the party chairman, commissioners, board members; to the extent that nobody could have a say. So, this is a real blessing to us in APC.”
