The crisis rocking the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti is an old one, dating back to 2018. The crisis produced two major factions, led by former Governor Ayodele Fayose and Senator Abiodun Olujimi respectively.

Throughout the tenure of the past National Working Committee led by Prince Uche Secundus, the crisis festered like fire in harmattan. This is why there was high expectation from political watchers that the new leadership of the party, led by Senator Iyiorcha Ayu would quickly settle it because of the governorship election in the state.

Others are, Mrs Cecillia Ebiesuwa ; Mrs Adewumi Adesoye ; Mrs Titilayo Owolabi Akerele ; Mrs Modupe Asaolu . “We’re not going into any election to lose. We are going into every single election with the determination to win and I think that should be the mood of every member of the PDP family. It is not important to us in the leadership of the party whether you like a particular candidate or not.”

At the last Lagos meeting, which was attended by Fayose, Olujimi, Senator Duro Faseyi, Otunba Yinka Akerele and Hon Deji Ogunsakin, they issued a statement saying, “the two groups once again want to reassure the entire PDP members in Ekiti State in particular, that the ongoing talks and reconciliation will lead us all to the desired victory.

However, the Repositioning Group is said to be persuading the national leadership to adopt supper or statutory delegates, which was used in Anambra State gubernatorial primary, owing to controversies trailing the congresses.Oni, who is also an aspirant, seems to have become a major victim of the unending crisis. The former governor, though enjoys substantial support among the electorate, has been rebuffed by the two factions.

Some aggrieved governorship aspirants in the party alleged that the exercise was rigged to favour a particular aspirant being backed by Fayose.
