A governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party for the upcoming election in Ekiti State, Senator Biodun Olujimi, has revealed that she and her supporters are considering two option from the fallout of the party’s primaries.
The representative of Ekiti South Senatorial District revealed this on Monday night after a meeting she had with her supporters.
According to Olujimi, the decisions had to be taken following the manner the January 26, 2022 primaries was handled by the leadership of the party, especially a former Governor of the state, Ayo Fayose.
Olujimi served briefly as Fayose’s deputy during his second term in office.
She said following the fallout from the primaries, her group had set up a committee chaired by a former Acting Governor of the state, Tunji Odeyemi, which would report back within three days.
She said: “There are two options on the table: One is that we would all go and kneel down and beg former Governor Ayodele Fayose that we have sinned and we are returning back to his fold.
“The second is that we should pull out of the party (the PDP).
“And we say that can’t be done in a hurry because tempers are high and we need them to calm to be able to talk and hold a big meeting on Sunday when we would announce to the public where we are going.”
Olujimi, who claimed that the PDP national leadership cheated her because of her gender, said nobody in the party, including Fayose, had called her since the primaries was held.
She said: “It was pure falsehood.
“Fayose didn’t call me.
“All he only did was to send pictures of Bisi Kolawole’s entry into Ado Ekiti unto my phones.
“I saw them and I didn’t reply.
“It is when they speak to you that you know something is happening.
“I am not bothered because we have been in this business for a while.”
