Obiora Ifoh, Abuja

Senator Iyorchia Ayu, the national Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party on Tuesday said there was no better candidate in Ekiti state to fly the party flag in the forthcoming gubernatorial election than Bisi Kolawole who is an experienced politician.

Ayu was speaking during the presentation of certificate of return to Bisi Kolawole who won the party primaries last weekend at the national Secretariat, Abuja.

The PDP national Chairman described Bisi Kolawole as a perfect gentleman who knows the rudiments of Ekiti state politics haven gone through the state house of assembly, as civil Commissioner and later the state Chairman of the party.

“Bisi Kolawole have seen all as a politician. He is a perfect fit as our candidate. He was a member of the state house of assembly, he was a commissioner in the state also and later PDP Ekiti state Chairman. So, Kolawole is a well breed politician.

” Let me appealed to our brothers and sisters in Ekiti state to put behind all their grievances and work towards the success of our party. It is only when we win that we can seat down and talk better.”

While calling on stakeholders in the state to close rank, Ayu said it is in unionism that winning Ekiti state is possible.

On their part, Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa representing the PDP Governors and Professor Jerry Gana who also stood in for the Board of Trustees pledge their support towards the campaign adding that “winning Ekiti and Osun states is a gateway to sending the All Progressives Congress out of Aso Rock.

The duo therefore called for total reconciliation that will give the party victory at the June 18th, 2022.

Responding shortly after the presentation of the certificate, Bisi Kolawole thanked the National working committee for their efforts at putting the party at the right direction.

Kolawole said his emergence as the party candidate is the beginning of PDP revolution in Ekiti state, while he applauded the party initiative to have quickly set up a strong reconciliation committee.

“I want to sincerely thank our national leaders for putting our party in the right direction. Let me assured you people that my emergence is the binging of PDP revolution in Ekiti state.

” Ekiti state has been on steady progress before the interruption of the All Progressives Congress. Now, there is suffering, hunger, security problems, pensioners are dieing, all these we will change when I enter as governor of Ekiti state.”
