Members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Germany have endorsed one of the close aides of Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, Lere Olayinka, for the office of the National Publicity Secretary of the party.
The PDP has commenced the process of the election of national officers of the party.
The process, which started with Ward Congresses, will culminate in the National Convention where national officers will emerge.
Olayinka, Fayose’s Special Adviser on New Media, has shown interest in emerging as the National Publicity Secretary of the party, a position being occupied now by Olisa Metuh.
Since he declared interest, several interest groups and individuals have endorsed his ambition.
The ambition got a further boost on Sunday.
In a communique issued after what was described as a crucial meeting held in Hamburg, Germany, and signed by the Coordinator of the party in Germany, Engineer Charles Njoku, the chapter said it based its decision to support Olayinka on his proven political and communicative skills.
The communique said: “With Lere Olayinka as the National Publicity Secretary, the repositioning of our great party ahead of 2019 to kick mediocrity out of Aso Rock has started!”
