All internet media leading to Igbara-Odo Ekiti in Ekiti South West Local Government Area of Ekiti state on Monday, August 10, 2020, witnessed gridlock as the PDP chairman in the LG, Mr Idowu Akinbode, marked in ground style the anniversary of his birth with movers and shakers of the state's economy and politics in attendance.
Akinbode, the former Secretary to ESWLG under the Segun Oni/PDP led administration and who later became the Caretaker chairman of the LG upon the termination of appointment of the then council boss, Hon. Mrs Dupe Ogundipe, has been described as a loyal party man.
Akinbode's political career have begun to soar high since he joined politics at his tender age. This many constituents have attributed to his political tolerance, doggedness, commitment and especially, his unwavering loyalty to democratic norms.
Akinbode who currently holds the strategic position of the Chairman of PDP local government party Chairmen had used the occasion of his birth to solicit for peaceful coexistence amongst his PDP members in Ekiti state.
Akinbode had during a media chat in Ado Ekiti on Monday, appealed to the leaders and stakeholders of the party at all levels, especially the major contenders within the state's chapter of the party, in persons of Ex-Gov. Ayo Fayose and Her Excellency, Senator Biodun Olujimi to, in the overall interest of the party faithfuls, close ranks to enable strategic and workable planning towards taking back the governance of Ekiti state in 2022 general election from those he described as "directionless APC/Fayemi-led government".
He therefore called on all well meaning leaders and members of Ekiti PDP to as a matter of urgency come together to rescue the seemingly sinking opposition party in the state.
He noted that Ekiti PDP has the perquisites to win the 2022 governorship election in the state. He thence called for genuine reconciliation among party members.
Akinbode said, "Words have failed me in expressing my sincere gratitude to all leaders and members of our great party, PDP, particularly for your show of love as extended to me, today, as I marked the anniversary of my birth. I want to seize the privilege to call on all our major political actors in the Ekiti PDP to please, in the interest of our younger generation and those whose destiny and future political career depends on the decisions made today by the aforementioned leaders, close their ranks so that Ekiti PDP can come out from its present crisis, formidable and stronger.
Akinbode however appreciated the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secundus and the NWC for their relentless efforts to ensure unity among the party leaders and stakeholders in view to returning back power to the people both at the state and national levels, respectively.
