The Peoples Democratic Party has described the resignation of Minister of Mines and Steel Development Kayode Fayemi nothing new.
Fayemi is the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress in the Ekiti governorship election, had during the Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday, resigned as minister.
Reacting to the development, the Director General Kolapo Olusola Campaign Organization, Hon Bisi Kolawole said “it is expected that he will resign, and if he resign let him come,we are waiting for him with his federal might and at the end of the day action and inactions,nobody has the monopoly of anything.”
He told Vanguard that, “if he is coming to wage war on Ekiti people ,it will be obvious that it is Fayemi that is drawing us back in this country. No problem, we are here waiting for him,but the fact is that ,there are people on ground in Ekiti that are waiting for him and his federal might.
“We will repeat another 16-0 ,regardless of the light weight that are defecting to join him. He must have given them fake promise,as usual, and it is unfortunate that those people cannot read between the lines.
“PDP people that are joining are all frustrated and they are all coming back em mass to PDP now. “If some people are being cajoled to come over to join him(Fayemi),very unfortunate and they will regret their action at the end of the day.
“It is a welcome development, let him come and join us in the field.You know we have almost toured all the 16 local government. Let him come and start because we are just 6 weeks to the election. This is not APC primary,this general election. So,let him come ,he will meet us there.”
