I won’t be part of consensus arrangement – Fayose

A former Governor of Ekiti State and Peoples Democratic Party governorship aspirant, Ayo Fayose, has said that he would not be part of any consensus arrangement for the emergence of the party’s candidate for the upcoming election in the state.
Fayose, who stated this through his spokesman, Idowu Adelusi, on Sunday, said consensus is another form of imposition, especially when not all aspirants consent to it.
Fayose stated further: “Everybody who believes in democracy and in general election must believe in primaries.
“I don’t want to be a consensus candidate.
“Everybody must be given the right to exercise as a member of the party.
“I have obtained my form, I returned it, I was screened and the last leg is primary.
“If an aspirant has paid N11 million for primary, he should have courage to face the electorate to elect him as candidate.
“I reject consensus in totality.
“I am ready to face all other aspirants.
“After all, there will be no consensus at general election.
“I believe in party supremacy based on equity and fair play.”
