Some of the Ekiti State People’s Democratic Party PDP gubernatorial aspirants of the 2018 gubernatorial election in the state have suspended their ambition and endorsed the incumbent Governor Ayodele Fayose.
The aspirants according to sources suspended their ambition to enable Governor Ayodele Fayose seek legal redress over his aborted first tenure as governor of the state, and possibly re-contest in the 2018 gubernatorial election.
Sources in Ekiti said the aspirants include current Deputy Governor of the state, Kolapo Olusola, from Ikere Local Government Area, Bisi Omoyeni, Ikere LGA, Sikiru Tae Lawal, Ado LGA, Kayode Oso, Ado LGA, Owoseni Ajayi, Ise LGA and Bisi Komolafe, Efon LGA, said they suspended their gubernatorial aspirations pending the outcome of the matter currently in Court.
In a communiqué which was signed by the aspirant and presented by the current deputy governor disclosed that the Supreme Court in the case of APC versus PDP & ORS resolved that the first tenure of Governor Peter Ayodele Fayose was unlawfully terminated in a civilian coup-like manner and hence deserves redress.
