Senator Faseyi harps on unity, peace among Ekiti PDP members

The member representing Ekiti North in Senate, Senator Duro Faseyi has reiterated the need for all stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state to focus on issues that will engender unity and cohesiveness of the party rather than selfish interest.


This is even as Senator Faseyi challenged his colleague representing Ekiti South in the Senate, Senator Biodun Olujimi to come out openly to tell the whole world her role in crisis rocking the PDP in the state popularly known as Fountain of Knowledge.

Senator Faseyi spoke in reaction to a recent unauthorized stakeholders' meeting of some few PDP members in Ekiti State, who claimed to have found some leaders of the party in the state guilty.

Faseyi, who was a two-term member of the House of Representatives before being elected to the Senate, pointed out that it was important for members of the PDP in Ekiti State to put their house in order and work as one big family, particularly at this critical period that the general elections are around the corner.

While faulting the so called PDP stakeholders' meeting, which is unknown to the Constitution of the PDP, the Senator said, "the decisions taken at the said stakeholders' meeting are laughable and stand logic on its head".

He challenged Senator Olujimi, who was instrumental to the said meeting, to "come out openly to tell the whole world her role in the division within the PDP members in the Ekiti State House of Assembly and the subsequent events that happened when the lawmakers were invited to Abuja for reconciliation, during which she (Olujimi) made sure that no members of the National Assembly from Ekiti State saw the eleven members who impeached the Speaker of the Assembly recently, before they returned".

The senator said that the party 's constitution has made it clear as to who the leader of the party in the state is, warning those parading themselves as such to desist forthwith.
Faseyi, who noted that while all concerned leaders of the PDP in Ekiti state are desirous of welcoming all aggrieved members that had earlier left for other parties, back to the party (PDP), wondered why Senator Olujimi is now manipulating the reconciliation process for her personal interest.

He nonetheless maintained the PDP in Ekiti state is determined to address all grievances of its members, saying, "the party is in the best position to address the various issues with a view to finding amicable solutions to them".

The Senator, who is the Chairman of the committee on Nigerian Airforce of Senate,
pointed out that the constitution of the party is very clear as to how to address any issue that may arise as well as who and who are empowered to call a caucus meeting
of the party in the state.

According to him, "we should not create non-conducive atmosphere for the PDP in Ekiti state. All grievances will be addressed on saturday at the planned caucus meeting of the party scheduled to hold in Ado Ekiti".

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
