The Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has rejected plan by former governor Ayodele Fayose and some elders in the party to pick a consensus candidate ahead of the coming congress slated for April 2.

The Oguntuase-led SWC, in a statement yesterday by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Mr. Jackson Adebayo, said the plan was ill-motivated and ill-conceived, describing it as unacceptable.
