FORMER EKITI DEPUTY GOVERNOR RESIGNS FROM PDP

- Abiodun Aluko accused Governor Fayose of behaving like a dictator and asking those who disagree with him on principle to come back and prostrate before him before they can be granted amnesty

- The former Deputy Governor disclosed that prominent political leaders in Ekiti are afraid that the Governor would send a killer squad after them for going against him

- In response however, the Governor’s spokesperson denounced the claims as false, stating that Aluko was simply seeking for an excuse to leave the party

Abiodun Aluko, a former Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, has quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while accusing Governor Ayo Fayose of harassing prominent leaders in Ekiti, and turning the party into his personal estate, Premium Times reports.

Aluko made his comments in a letter of resignation which he addressed and handed over to Sulaiman Adeniyi, the PDP Ward Chairman for Are/Araromi/Ayetoro ward in his native Ikere-Ekiti.

His letter read: “I have been having a running battle with Fayose for about one-and-half years now and he said those who disagree with him on principle should come back and prostrate to him before they can be granted amnesty.

“Am I a criminal or a militant needing amnesty?

“Fayose has said it loud and clear that there is no room for reconciliation in Ekiti, that he would only work with those who are with him while those who are not with him should go to hell; and with his new regulation on the ages of aspirants, I have been shut out.

“All leaders in the party are so scared that a killer squad could be sent after them.

“Recently, Senator Biodun Olujimi complained that some unknown people are trailing her around because the Governor challenged her to drop her governorship ambition and she resisted.

“The same thing is happening to Dayo Adeyeye whose governorship ambition is being opposed by the Governor.

“The situation in PDP today is too bad that when the Governor is the accuser, the complainant and the judge, who do you complain to?’’

The Governor’s spokesperson Lere Olayinka, however denied the claims.

Olayinka stated that Aluko was simply seeking for an excuse to leave the PDP, as he had left the party for the NDP in 2007.

He stated: “In 2007, he left the PDP to NDP to contest the governorship election, was it Fayose that forced him out?

“Aluko is not one of the issues that are on our minds right now.”

Meanwhile, 24repoters.com  previously reported that some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and loyalists to Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state threatened to dump the party.

Their threats came months after Fayose himself hinted he could leave the party before the 2019 general elections, but vowed not to join the All Progressives Congress, claiming he was being lobbied to join the party.
