Ekiti: Fayose promises transparent primaries

The Ekiti State Governor-elect, Peter Ayodele Fayose, has reiterated that the era of imposition was gone forever in the Peoples Democratic Party.
Fayose, who stated this during a meeting with aspirants to legislative and local government elective positions in Ado Ekiti on Monday, said that he would provide a level playing field and not induce the election in favour of anybody.
According to a press statement by Fayose’s Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the governor-elect told the aspirants that the party will screen each one before they could be allowed to participate in the election.
He enjoined all aspirants not to bribe any party leader because such will not help them.
Fayose also warned that the party will not hesitate to sanction any erring member who remains in the party destroying it, promising that his government will ensure that all members of the party benefit one thing or the other before the expiration of his tenure.
He stated ‎further that his administration will provide the enabling environment for the people to promote themselves and the party to achieve stability and success.
Also during the meeting, the state Chairman of the party, Makanjuola Ogundipe, thanked the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, and the National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, for supporting the party to win the governorship election in the state.
Makanjuola promised that the Ekiti State chapter of the PDP would become a model soon in terms of discipline and good governance.
One time Education Minister, Prof. Tunde Adeniran, who was at the meeting, called for support of the party members and people of Ekiti State for Fayose so that he is able to perform much more better than the outgoing administration.
Adeniran pledged his support to the party’s position, saying there should be no room for imposition of candidate again in the PDP.
