Immediate past Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon Dele
Olugbemi has reiterated his unflinching support for the State
Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose.
Hon Olugbemi, who admitted that he once had disagreement with the
governor over certain issue, which made him to reject his appointment
as commissioner in the State House of Assembly Service Commission,
said he only disagreed with the governor on principle and that has not
stopped his support for the governor and his government.
In a statement issued on Thursday and made available to press men in
Ado-Ekiti, the former Speaker emphasised that he will never return to
the All Progressives Congress (APC) and urged those pestering him to
dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop bordering themselves.
The former Speaker described Governor Fayose as a visionary and honest
leader, who rewards loyalty, adding that those who genuinely stood by
the governor and the PDP in the past are now enjoying the reward of
their loyalty with many of them now members of the State House of
Assembly, commissioners and Special Assistants.
He said; "From my relationship with Governor Fayose, he cut the
picture of a blunt person who will never lie to anyone no matter what
he stands to gain. He is passionate about development of Ekiti State
and anyone whose main interest is that of Ekiti must support him.
"As for me, even though we disagreed in the past, I will continue to
stand with him, support him and pray for him in the overall interest
of Ekiti State and our party, the PDP."
Hon Olugbemi also hailed Governor Fayose's steadfastness in defending
democracy and the rule of law, noting that he was proud that the
governor was fast becoming the face of opposition in Nigeria.
He advised PDP members being wooed to join APC in Ekiti State and
across the country to exercise caution, saying defection from PDP to
APC was a dangerous trend that will not serve the interest of
democracy.
