As covert moves have begun towards the 2022 governorship election in Ekiti, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is once again in the news for wrong reasons. The imposition of candidate was arguably the genesis of the protracted crisis in the party, which dated back to September 2017 when former Governor Ayodele Fayose picked his deputy, Prof Kolapo Olusola-Eleka, as the anointed sole candidate before the party primary was fixed.

FORMER Ekiti State Governor, Chief Segun Oni, on Wednesday, welcomed the decision of former Governor Ayodele Fayose and Senator Biodun Olujimi and their loyalists to sheath their swords and allow peace to reign in the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party.
He said the reconciliation between the two factional leaders of the party would strengthen the party to face the challenges ahead.
Oni, who is one of PDP’s hopefuls in the 2022 Ekiti State governorship election, noted that with the peace-mending meeting between Fayose’s group and Olujimi faction, “the PDP would gain more in peace and unity.”
