The former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, said the ruling party
was committed to maintaining unity regardless of the outcome of the
primary poll to elect a candidate for the upcoming Governorship
elections.
"One can see how we were received at the National
Secretariat of the party. Ours is to mobilise the people of the state
for the party, that is the wining party, the ruling People's Democratic
Party (PDP). To us PDP is first and we are second, whoever wins the
primary election among us, we would take it in good faith and we would
ensure that the party wins the governorship election in the state," said
Fayose.
He spoke on Thursday after picking his nomination forms.
More
than 30 former Local Government Chairmen from the State, former
National Financial Secretary of the party, Toye Olofintuyi, member of
Board of Trustee (BOT) of the party, Clement Awoyemi, and all former
members of the State House of Assembly accompanied the favourite.
The
National Organising Secretary of the party, Alhaji Abubakar Mustafa,
said the party will not impose any candidate for the state.
He
said the primary election would be free and fair. He urged all the
aspirants to cooperate with any of the aspirant that emerges as the
party candidate.
