The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State were summoned in a meeting by the party’s elders to save the party from collapse which was allegedly interrupted by agents of Governor Ayo Fayose on Friday.
The meeting, which was hosted by the Chairman of Ekiti PDP Elders’ Committee, Senator Clement Awoyelu, at his residence in Ekute area of Ado Ekiti ,was held to stem the gale of defections of aggrieved party members complaining about the leadership style of Fayose.
As the meeting was in full swing, Special Adviser to Fayose on Political Matters, Ademola Bello, who allegedly stormed the venue with people suspected to be political thugs, queried Awoyelu’s authority to hold the meeting without the governor’s clearance.
Bello reportedly told the bemused party elders that Fayose remains the leader of the party in the state and no meeting should be held without obtaining clearance from him.
