Ekiti 2014: Fayose set to declare governorship ambition

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, is expected to, in April next year, declare his intention to contest the governorship of the state under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ahead of the declaration, the former governor had in the last two months toured the 16 local government areas of the state for meetings with PDP leaders and other stakeholders.
A statement from the Ayodele Fayose Campaign Organisation (AFCO) yesterday said Fayose’s wife, Feyisetan, would hold meetings with women in the state in Ado Ekiti tomorrow as a prelude to her husband’s formal declaration for the 2014 governorship election.
AFCO Director of Publicity and Research, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, said the meeting with women outside politics and PDP women leaders would hold in the Adebayo area of the state capital. Adelusi said “Fayose has already intimated his supporters of his resolve to contest and serve the people again”.
It would be recalled that the PDP National Working Committee had last September endorsed the return of Fayose to the party and granted him a waiver backdated to September last year when he formally returned to the party.
Adelusi said that “by the waiver, Fayose is entitled to enjoy all benefits of membership of the PDP”.
