The immediate past National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Eddy Olafeso has come out to say that Ayodele Fayose is a vital voice in the party’s affair in the region.

Mr. Eddy Olafeso recently revealed this in Ado-Ekiti during a meeting with the party’s delegates over his Vice Chairmanship aspiration in the coming zonal congress of the party.

According to him, the leadership struggle between Fayose and Gov Makinde of Oyo state is very uncalled for and unwarranted because Fayose is a pathfinder and leading light of the PDP in the South-West.

He added that Fayose remains the voice of the PDP in the Southwest and there is nothing that can be done to change that.

His words, “He remains the voice of the PDP in the Southwest.

“You can see that all the immediate past zonal executive members are represented here.

“We are here to thank our leader, Ayodele Fayose for his support.

“He (Fayose) is our leader. We believed in him. While others were panicking and fearful to criticize President Muhammadu Buhari, he was with us.

“He remained the only voice in the wilderness.

“Fayose rescued the PDP from those who wanted to ruin the party when the late Sen. Buruji Kashamu took the party to court.

“It was Fayose as a governor that saved the party from total ruin.

“We are very sure that we will reposition the PDP in this zone. We have visited other five states. No individual can appropriate the PDP in the Southwest .

“Let us continue to support Fayose. We are very sure of victory and unity in the end.”
