A former Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, has becosme the first Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant to obtain the party’s expression of interest and nomination forms for Ekiti governorship election, boasting that the PDP would win the June 21, 2014, election.
He said his greatest interest was for the PDP to win the election, saying: “I am not against the consensus arrangement, and I am also not afraid of primary election. I am only here to comply with the directive of the National Chairman, Alhaji Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, by obtaining my expression of interest and nomination forms.
“If a consensus candidate is picked among lawful aspirants, as a loyal member of the PDP, I am ready to comply with it.”
Mu’azu had last week admonished the party’s governorship aspirants to first pick the forms so as to acquire the locus standi to participate in the primaries.
In compliance, Prince Adeyeye, one of the 33 claimed aspirants, yesterday picked the requisite forms at PDP national headquarters.
Addressing journalists, Adeyeye expressed confidence that the party would recover the governorship seat.
He said: “I believe that if all the PDP members in the interest of the people of the state, we all drop our differences and join hands to build the state, PDP will recover the Government House.
“In an exam, unless you write the exam, you are not a candidate. I am here to fulfil the aspirations of the party. I am now an aspirant as defined by the party chairman and the constitution of our great party.”
