Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ekiti State chapter have reiterated the readiness of the party towards ensuring its victory during the 2026 governorship election in the State.

The party equally stressed the need for all members  to close ranks and work for peace for it to win the next governorship and other elective positions in the State.

Speaking at a meeting held in Ado-Ekiti, the  State capital, ahead of the forthcoming congress of the party, the former Governor of the State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, said the meeting was summoned to strategize ahead of the forthcoming exercise.

The former Governor who debunked the allegation that he has dumped the PDP, for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), said,  he is not and will never be an  APC member.

Fayose, who later addressed  his supporters  said he would soon commence the campaign for the congress in two local governments in the state, apparently to ensure the smooth conduct of the exercise.

“Let there be no Olujimi, Fayose, Bisi Kolawole, Duro Faseyi factions in PDP, let us work for the peace to be able to win election in the state in the nearest future.

“I have come to tell you that the PDP must not die in Ekiti State”.  I want you to have peace, please don’t destroy my personality.

“When we come to election period, we will fight BAO, the PDP is not in order in Ekiti, let us come together”

Fayose, who equally debunked the rumour  that he got an appointment from Governor Biodun Oyebanji, called on  people to stop playing politics of bitterness.

Fayose, told the gathering held at the White House located at the Fajuyi area in Ado-Ekiti, said “I feel satisfied with the work  Governor Biodun Oyebanji, so far in the state.

“Governor Oyebanji is a humble governor, he has visited me 13 times in Lagos to greet me. We discussed about the progress and development of the state.

“I have to respect him, that has nothing to do with politics, he is the only governor that has brought all governors in the state together,”he stated.
