Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, has berated former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose for wishing defeat for the party’s candidate in the Edo gubernatorial election, Godwin Obaseki.
Fayose, a chieftain of the PDP, stated in an interview that he would not back the governor’s second term bid.
Reacting, George said that Fayose’s stance did not represent the stance of South-West PDP, describing him as an ingrate.
He said that Obaseki deserved a second term for his credible performance in his first term.
The party chieftain urged the people of Edo to vote an en-masse for the candidate.
“I find it completely unacceptable. How can a committed member who has benefited immensely from the party pitch his tenth against our own candidate in Edo State?
“I am countering such remarks by telling the people of Edo State that we, members of the PDP in the South-West, that we are in support of Obaseki. We pray for him and we will work and support him to win the election.
“PDP in the South-West and I dissociate ourselves from Fayose’s statement. He is on his own because we do not know where that is coming from,” George said.
