Biting The Fingers That Fed One, A Party Beneficiary campaigning Serially Against The Party!
Respect is Earned
The recent ruse to use a few elders in our party to endorse impunity should be condemned by the party leaders and faithfuls, admitted the elders have a role to play in the party, such roles must be guided at all times with caution and discretion.
Firstly, at all advisory stages, there must be trust. Most of the people in that meeting in Chief Awoyelu's house are men who can not be trusted, because of their antecedents at all political responsibility levels. No trust no relationship.
The meeting at best, is an assemblage of political like minds within the PDP. Who are trying a trick.
What is the level of involvement of the State Working Committee in the ruse called meeting? If far reaching decisions are to be taken it would not be the hurriedly assembled people, it won't the venue, and certainly it won't be H/E Ayo Fayose that will be the conveigner.
Were those few men in Chief Awoyelu's house not in PDP when H/E Ayo Fayose campaigned against the candidature of PDP serially in 2010 and 2019? Were meetings held to at least publicly condemn such acts?
When he chased away all other leaders in 2017 and 2018 because he singlehandedly chose the Gubernatorial candidate and all other candidates from Councellorship up, where were our leaders who are in that gathering when it was reported that the party secretariat built from member's dues have been sold ? By H/E Ayo Fayose!
What has changed?
What has changed is that many members believe the current stranglehold of the party by H/E Ayo Fayose has continued to weaken it, we have continued to loose membership, so those who stand on the truthful restoration of PDP in Ekiti State are those who have refused to be
1. Blackmailed and or deceived.
2. Merchandized Supporters
There will be properly conducted congresses bottom up, through which the dignity of members will be restored and their trust earned, and build a new PDP where imposition will be no more. Where Counselors will be elected in their wards by their constituents, where our flag bearers will not be chosen by one man but by all. in fair and free elections.
Condoning the former Governor's several political anti party behaviors will never make it right, neither can the assembly of political friends in a private residence be upgraded to a party position on election of State Working Committee Members of the party.
Anyone who is interested in the resurtitation of PDP in Ekiti State will hold elective congress, in the different wards, up to the State and National levels, fortunately the Ayo Fayose said "my group" is ready for the congress.
Respect is earned and not demanded . Politicians always want to win , its normal, but the desperation by the former Governor is suspect , is it .because he wants to cover up certain suspicious transactions? Is it because of some other reasons known only to him?
The gathering rather than beat their chests that only two candidates came to their mischievous meeting. Happily one or two honorable people in that meeting have come out to describe as "fabrication of falsehood" as no candidate was adopted by the meeting contrary to lies reported after the spurious meeting.
Hon Kehinde Odebunmi is a candidate in the April Party Chairmanship Election in Ekiti State. He represents liberal Democrats who believe election is a huge component of democracy . He believes that the party must truly be returned to the people at ALL levels in the party.
He believes in law and order . He stands against impunity . He has the capacity to lead. He is an apostle of collective leadership. We must reposition this party away from the crash and failures of yesteryears. That is what we are.
