He recalled that Kolawole had been a member of the State House of Assembly, Commissioner and later State Chairman of the party.
He said, “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 ranks, Ayu said it is in unity that winning Ekiti state is possible.
Also, Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa who represented the PDP Governors and Professor Jerry Gana who also stood in for the Board of Trustees (BoT) pledged 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.
They called for total reconciliation that would give the party the victory at the June 18th, 2022 election.
In his response, Bisi Kolawole thanked the National working committee of the PDP for their efforts at putting the party in the right direction.
He said his emergence as the party candidate is the beginning of PDP revolution in Ekiti state and applauded the party’s 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 assure 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 dying. All these we will change when I come in as governor of Ekiti state.”
