Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State and the people, in general, are not unaware that former governor Ayodele Fayose was capable of pulling the electoral heist that truncated the ad-hoc election of Saturday, January 15, 2022.
However, what we do not expect was the extent of culpability of the five-man ad-hoc committee sent by the National Working Committee of the party, which was led by an impostor.
We wish to inform the NWC, and the entire leadership of the party that the ad-hoc election exercise to nominate three-person delegates was led and conducted by an interloper and someone unknown to law and the directive of the party.
While the party announced H.E. Chief Udom Emmanuel as the chairman of the committee but strangely, the exercise was, however, conducted by a different person, an impostor called Emmanuel Enoidem, the immediate past National Legal Adviser of the PDP.
This Emmanuel Enoidem was not listed and recognised by the NWC to be the Chairman of the Ekiti Ad-hoc delegates exercise, based on its official announcement, which has now rendered the entire exercise a nullity.
We expect Senator Iyorchia Ayu led National Working Committee to rise to the occasion and ensure the nullification of the entire charade and the suspension of Fayose from the party.
This Enoidem, together with the Secretary of the committee, Kola Ologbodiyan, had served in the Uche Secondus led NWC once described as tax collectors by Gov Nyesome Wike, while they also tried to frustrate Gov Makinde of Oyo State over the Southwest zonal executives.
The duo of Enoidem and Ologbodiyan are known loyalists of Fayose and have enjoyed his patronage.
There was no ad-hoc election known to law in the entire 177 wards in Ekiti State, except for an afterthought kangaroo arrangement in a few locations where some persons were told to start jubilating on camera shouting “Oshoko” to justify the electoral robbery.
The entire exercise was a mockery cooked up to impose an aspirant on the PDP in Ekiti state.
