He also insisted that his call for the dissolution of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) was in good faith, and in the overall interest of the party, saying, “I have no apology on my position on the NWC because its responsibility as a party does not take away their failure in the last general elections.”
Governor Fayose who challenged the NWC to provide evidence of money released to him to prosecute the last elections, added that “only N30 million was received for the last two elections and to the glory of the Almighty God and support of Ekiti people, we won all elections outrightly. I therefore demand for the mode with which money was released to me by the NWC.”
In a statement signed by his special assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka in Ado Ekiti yesterday, the governor reiterated his commitment to the PDP, pointing out that if it remained only him in the party, he would continue to defend its cause.
“If it remains only me, I will continue to defend the cause of this party because some people are born to stand up at difficult times, and I believe I am one such people born to stand up for the PDP at this difficult time,” he said.
